editQuestion about Marlee Matlin
editThrough which family members if she of Russian Jewish and Polish Jewish descent? Parents? Grandparents? Great grandparents? 50.68.120.49 (talk) 04:51, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- This article contains excerpts from her memoir I'll Scream Later. She says her paternal grandfather, Edward Matlin, was a Russian from "Gomel... in what is now Belarus"; and her maternal grandmother, Rose Hammer, was from Bledow (apparently either this one or this one), Poland. Both families were Jewish. As I read the article, her other grandparents were already living in the US when those two moved there. --69.159.61.172 (talk) 07:25, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
