Миллисент Симмондс

A Quiet Place, Part 2 Premiere in Los Angeles

Сыграет в телеадаптации книги Сары Нович «True Biz» - рассказ о взрослении глухой девочки-подростка.

True Biz tells the story of Charlie, played by Simmonds, a Deaf teenage girl struggling to access spoken language, and the hearing CODA (child of deaf adults) headmistress of a boarding school for deaf students, both of whom live in a blue-collar town in the present-day Midwest. Through Charlie, the story navigates the alternatingly thrilling, frustrating, terrifying, and captivating journey of finding one’s people and one’s place in the world amidst massive social and political upheaval, while also following a tireless school administrator who comes to her own breaking point as she confronts the tragic realities of her increasingly fraught personal and professional lives.

 

The book, written by Girl At War author and Deaf rights activist Novi263;, is to be published by Penguin Random House in March 2022.

Millicent Simmonds, the deaf star of A Quiet Place Part 1 and 2 and Wonderstruck, is teaming up with Emmy-winning Marvelous Mrs. Maisel lead Rachel Brosnahan for Helen & Teacher, set to tell the story of famed deaf, blind and disability rights activist Helen Keller.

 

Based on an screenplay by Laetitia Mikles and Westmoreland, in consultation with a team at Helen Keller National Center for Youth and Adults, the film will be set during the early 1900s, following Keller’s tumultuous time at Radcliffe College of Harvard University, when her rapidly expanding worldview and sexual awakening brings her into direct conflict with the more conservative Sullivan. When Sullivan is courted by the young and brilliant publisher, John Macy, tensions escalate between the two women threatening the bonds of their friendship.
