Best Known For:
Winning a best-actress Oscar for 1986's Children of a Lesser God

Los Angeles
Partner:
The season's only newcomer, Fabian Sanchez, a world mambo champion and four-time Fred Astaire National Champion
Advantages:
An iron will. Matlin's whole career, she says, has been about defying expectations. "I've been doing that ever since I won the Academy Award and critics said I won out of pity, just because I'm deaf."
Disadvantages:
An unusually strong reliance on Sanchez, who will demonstrate the moves as her interpreter relays the instructions. "Effectively, all she'll be able to hear is the beat," says DWTS executive producer Conrad Green.

In 1986, at the age of 21, she was the youngest performer to receive a Best Actress Oscar (for

In 1993, she performed the national anthem in American Sign Language at Super Bowl XXVII as Garth Brooks sang.
