- Marlee Matlin signed with Gilbertson Entertainment for representation across film, television, and producing as she continues developing new projects
- Matlin was the first Deaf performer to win the Best Actress Oscar and remains its youngest recipient, for the 1986 Paramount film Children of a Lesser God opposite William Hurt, directed by Randa Haines
- Matlin also won a Golden Globe for Children of a Lesser God, earned four Emmy nominations over a decade, and counts CODA, The West Wing, The L Word, and Switched at Birth among her credits
- Matlin continues her existing representation with Innovative Artists Entertainment alongside the new Gilbertson deal
- Gordon Gilbertson, a former ICM agent and Emmy-winning producer, leads Gilbertson Entertainment; his credits include The Incredible Mrs. Ritchie and the upcoming USA Network series Anna Pigeon
Why it matters: Gilbertson Entertainment — a young management company built around Gordon Gilbertson's producing slate — lands a high-profile, Oscar-winning client as it expands representation into film and TV. For Matlin, adding a manager with active producing credits (including the upcoming USA Network series Anna Pigeon) complements her existing Innovative team and signals that her next phase is about packaging and producing, not just acting roles.
