“I am so sad to read about the passing of Gilbert Gottfried,” Academy Award winner Marlee Matlin . “Funny, politically incorrect but a softie on the inside. We met many times; he even pranked me on a plane, replacing my intepreter @655jack (they’re like twins). Sending love to Dara & his children.”
