Marlee Matlin
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Marlee's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Marlee Matlin comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Marlee Matlin - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Marlee Matlin" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Marlee a little better. This page describes the disguise Matlin wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

She is very strong-willed and proud, but intensely private and not easy to know well. Behind Matlin's quiet exterior lies a great deal of emotional depth, sensitivity, complexity, and also fierce determination. When Marlee Matlin wants something she goes after it rather quietly but insistently and wholeheartedly - and what Marlee Matlin wants, Marlee Matlin usually gets.

She is not a person who lives haphazardly or superficially. Marlee wants to live passionately and intensely and is not averse to challenge, danger, or to facing the darker side of life - human pain and struggle. Marlee Matlin functions well in crisis situations and she often seeks them out, for she enjoys the feeling of living at full capacity.

She is very intuitive about other people and especially about their unspoken feelings and hidden motives. Marlee Matlin usually has strong, immediate gut reactions, either positive or negative, which prove to be correct. Matlin approaches life very instinctively and is not always fully conscious of why she feels or acts the way she does. Marlee Matlin also has a very strong affinity with animals - an acute sensitivity and a nonverbal rapport with them.

In new relationships she is rather cautious, sometimes even suspicious, until she gets to know and trust someone - and trust does not come easily to Matlin. When Marlee Matlin commits herself emotionally to someone, be it friend or lover, she is intensely loyal and devoted to them and she also expects the same kind of unwavering, undying loyalty in return. If she is ever betrayed by someone she cares deeply for, Marlee Matlin is capable of hating and retaliating with as much fervor as she once loved. Nothing is done halfway. In fact, she is intensely involved and often jealously attached to whatever she cares about, be it person, idea, or cause. There is definitely a streak of emotional fanaticism in her.

Because of her natural reserve, others may see Marlee Matlin as something of an enigma. She is quite self-protective and often defensive. Marlee Matlin also has a very magnetic quality, especially to members of the opposite sex.

She may find it difficult to get ahead because Marlee lacks the vitality to do so. Marlee Matlin tends to wait for better conditions and has the desire to accomplish a lot without straining herself too much. Quite often, though, her plans just seem to hang in the air.
