It is clear that the girl did not learn to speak. But this did not prevent her from becoming not only a stunningly beautiful woman, but also an equally amazing actress. Marley is the only deaf-mute who received an Oscar. She was awarded the prestigious statuette for the best dramatic role in the film “Children of the Lesser God”. Moreover, she became the youngest actress to receive this award. Marley was only 21 years old. Now the actress is already 51. She continues to act in films. She wrote a book about her fate. She raised four children - she has two sons and two daughters. The youngest girl is only 14. So Marley has a lot of things to do.

Comminuted spinal fracture. Operations, rehabilitation ... Xenia never got to her feet again. And the worst thing - at the time of the accident she was pregnant. Doctors strongly recommended an abortion. But Ksenia could not go on getting rid of the child. Now, Ksenia Taisiya’s daughter is already 8 years old. Her younger sister Alex is just a year and a half. Their beautiful mommy doesn’t spend a single second to feel sorry for herself: she became the Miss of the World - 2013 among girls in wheelchairs, worked in the publishing house Hearst Shkulev Media, engaged in community work. She even entered the Commission for Disabled Affairs under the President of the Russian Federation. And also - conducts master classes for girls who find themselves confined to a wheelchair.

Marla ranyan

A solid collection of titles. Especially when you consider that Marla Runyan ran almost blindly. Starting from the fourth grade, Marla's vision only deteriorated. She fell so much that she couldn’t find her bearings in the stadium: she didn’t know what time it was on the board, she didn’t know who was running next to her. But this is important - focusing on rivals, the athlete builds a strategy for running. But that did not stop her. Marla just ran - directly to her goal. Now she has already completed her sports career. But not because of the sight. Marla suffered a serious back injury. Now she has a family, children. Firstborn, she gave birth, by the way, in 36 years. And work. Marla works in a school for the blind in Massachusetts. He does not advertise his titles - she just wants to help people.

The girl was born with spina bifida. And this did not prevent her from winning 11 gold, four silver and one bronze Paralympic medals! Discipline is wheelchair racing. Now Tanni has already moved away from the sport. Engaged in politics - she is a member of the House of Lords, engaged in sports in Britain. She is one of the few in the country to whom the queen herself was bowing! After all, in another hand a person sitting in a wheelchair, do not shake. In addition, Tanni leads a program on sports in the BBC. And yet - happily married, gave birth and raised a daughter.
