Marlee has also starred in numerous television projects, including Seinfeld, The West Wing, Law and Order SVU, The L Word, Switched At Birth, The Magicians, and Quantico, garnering four Emmy nominations along the way. In 2015, Marlee made her Broadway debut in the Tony-nominated revival of Spring Awakening. In addition to her film, TV, and stage work, Marlee broke barriers when she starred on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars in 2012. She has penned three novels for children, as well as her New York Times best-selling autobiography, I’ll Scream Later. Despite the odds, Marlee’s journey is an inspiration to everyone, regardless of the barriers they face. She has refused to let the naysayers get in the way of her dreams of success. As she so aptly stated, “The only thing I can’t do is hear. The rest is there for the taking.”
