Her body was great in Children of a Lesser God. She didn't have to speak to get the point across in that movie.

I took a chick to see the village in theatres and she didn't realize the girl was blind until she met the park ranger. She also tried to french me like a lizard. Worst first date i ever had.

She must be great faking it. She won an Academy Award with her first movie portraying a deaf woman.

Did you know Collin Firth won his only Oscar for stuttering well in about his 60th movie?

This seems both outrageously fair and outrageously unfair at the same time.

what does she look like nowadays?

i always found her strangely attractive

as an aside, there was a cute chick in my JUCO days that i had no idea was deaf

i scared the hell out of her once by sneaking up on her and grabbing her shoulders before i knew she couldn’t hear me

needless to say she didn’t like me after that

Robert Downey Jr only PLAYS a black guy in Tropic Thunder.



He's not really black.
