Marlee Matlin
Age: 42
Known for: Winning an Oscar for her debut film role in Children of a Lesser God and appearing on TV's The West Wing, The L-Word, Nip/Tuck and Desperate Housewives.
Dancing partner: Fabian Sanchez
On being deaf and in the competition: "I'll be more focused than most. So much will depend on me being in synch with my partner with my eyes, with my arms, with my legs. Plus, as I said before, sign language has given me an internal metronome, a sense of rhythm that a lot of people might not think I have."
