Marlee Matlin has worked with interpreter Jack Jason for roughly 40 years, a partnership that has made his voice familiar to audiences watching her interviews and public appearances.
On the Sept. 28th episode of The Person Who Believed in Me, host David Begnaud asked whether people ever question why a woman uses a male interpreter.
"I want people to think that I smoke five packs of cigarettes a day, and that's why I have a deep voice," Matlin joked.
Jason is also her business and producing partner. When they met, however, Matlin said she had only recently left high school and knew little about working with professional interpreters.
Matlin had just finished filming Children of a Lesser God and was living in New York with Hurt, her costar and boyfriend at the time. He was preparing for a magazine interview at their home and did not want the reporter to see them together, she told Begnaud, according to PEOPLE.

If you're as obsessed with beauty history as I am, there's a 99.9% chance you follow Erin Parsons.
The makeup-artist-turned-content-creator has amassed nearly 8 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, not just for her vintage beauty tutorials, but also for deep dives into the archaeology of makeup. Be it demonstrating makeup techniques across eras—like the Victorian age using actual recipes from the period—or sharing her treasure trove of antique cosmetics, Parsons' content is a crash course in makeup history.
Now, she's expanded her universe with The Makeup Archive, a nonprofit digital museum featuring over 1,500 pieces from her personal collection that span from the 17th century through the 2010s. Three years in the making, the project came to life with the help of archivist Holly McGraw, who helped Parsons comb through 3,000 items to build the archive.
"Through my videos, and through how many views and how much engagement, [it's clear] that people are interested in beauty history," Parsons told host Jessica Matlin during a recent episode of the Fat Mascara podcast. "There's more to it than someone just putting on a red lipstick."
