“It’s about connections.
It’s about not judging each other.
It’s about not being afraid of each other,” Matlin told ABC 7’s George Pennacchio.

“It really brings out the best in the viewer, maybe not even realizing it.”
Matlin’s longtime interpreter and friend Jack Jason is also an executive producer of the film.
The two dated for two years before tying the knot.

Matlin and Grandalski have four children: Sarah, Brandon, Tyler, and Isabelle.

“I thank my husband, children, family, friends, and ME.
I cannot imagine my life without it.”
Also in 2017, Matlin ended the year celebrating her husband’s career in the police force.
