Marlee Matlin

Marlee Matlin may go Dancing With the Stars

According to Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Insider blog, deaf actress and Oscar winner Marlee Matlin may be appearing on the next edition of ABC's Dancing With the Stars. As EW mentions, having Matlin guest star on the dancing competition would not be surprising since the series has been trying to "defy casting expectations and prejudices." DWTS fans will recall that Heather Mills, who wears a prosthetic leg, appeared in the fourth season of the show.

Since the network is not ready to confirm the cast of the upcoming season of the show, it is impossible to know for sure if Matlin will indeed be on the show. The magazine contacted Marlee Matlin's publicist but the latter referred them to ABC. ABC should reveal who will be donning dance shoes for the sixth installment of the series sometime this month since the show is set to premiere on March 17.
