    About Seinfeld:
    Seinfeld stars Jerry Seinfeld as a stand-up comedian whose life in New York City is made even more chaotic by his quirky group of friends who join him in wrestling with life's most perplexing, yet often trivial questions. Often described as "a show about nothing," Seinfeld mines the humor in life's mundane situations like waiting in line, searching for a lost item, or the trials and tribulations of dating. Co-starring are Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Jerry's ex-girlfriend and current platonic pal, Elaine Benes; Jason Alexander as George Costanza, Jerry's neurotic hard-luck best friend; and Michael Richards as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer.

    Fun Fact: Marlee Matlin, is the woman who plays the lip reader. At the Oscars She Won best Actress in 1987 in her acting debut. Matlin became the youngest Oscar winner to win best actress (21) and the first deaf actress to win an Oscar. She Also plays the mother in CODA (2021). She lost all hearing in her right ear, and 80% of the hearing in her left ear at the age of 18 months due to illness and fevers. It's great to see her doing well.

    Love the moment after Jerry and George have their hidden lips conversation at the table and Jerry asks Marlee’s character ‘Laura’ if she will be the lip reader at the party. Without even waiting for Jerry to finish, she says, “Sure, i’ll do it!” implying that she heard them all the while. Beautiful moment - and evidence of Marlee’s perfect timing, a brilliant actress indeed!
