In the latest episode of the Breakout Role Podcast, Luke and Jess explore the career of the youngest winner of Best Actress at the Oscars, Marlee Matlin. We look at this performer's varied career, her advocacy for the dead community and her success in her first starring role in a feature film in the 1986 romantic drama Children of a Lesser God, a film notable for being the first in Hollywood since the silent era to feature a deaf or hard of hearing actor in a major role. 

All this and more in our chat about #MarleeMatlinBreakout!
