	Paula	Good luck, Marlee! I've seen you on various films, TV series, awards shows, and read numerous articles about you when I come across them...I think you are a wonderfully confident and talented actress, first of all. I myself am deaf -- lower case, my choice --- and the one thing you consistently state is that the one thing we cannot do is hear. I applaud that truth, as it IS. And certainly, even a deaf person may have rhythm and movement! I look forward to "Dancing With the Stars". Paula in Texas   Posted by Paula on Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 3:18 AM [Reply to this]

		I have been a fan of yours for a long time, Marlee. You are a great source of encouragement and inspiration as a person. I also got hooked on the 'Dancing with the Stars' phenomenon several years ago so I was excited to hear that you would be joining the cast. I wish you the best of good fortune on the show. Blessings and Peace. ~jon   Posted by on Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 3:21 AM [Reply to this]

	Lildarlin429	I was so glad to see that your were doing the Dancing with the Stars. I know that it is going to be difficult but with the learning of the dance moves and the beat of the music on the floor you will do great!!

	Jen	Goodmorning I think that you participating in Dancing with the Stars is simply amazing! My bestfriend is deaf and I love to watch her dance. I enjoy the fact that she can FEEL the music. It is in her soul. Some of my favorite moments with her was her and I downloading lyrics to songs and her and I following the words to go with the beats of the music. My entire world opened up because of her. You are one of her hero's and now one of mine as well. Goodluck with all you do and Thank you for opening my ear's, eye's, and heart to a new vibrant and beautiful world. Jennifer   Posted by Jen on Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 3:25 AM [Reply to this]

	Marmee S. Proctor	Good Luck Marlee!!! In regards to your question "are you crazy or brave?" I think you are brave with a little crazy but will do well.

	Persephone Moonshadow Cynthia Kruger	Marlee . . . thank you so much for saying, " . . . the only thing we CAN'T do is hear." It is unbelievable how often we are discounted because our ears don't work so well. You go girl . . . knock 'em dead at DWtS!

	-| Mo |- I'm a winner.	Good luck! You're going to do great. Anyways, the capability to dance well isn't dependent on hearing the music... we all know that there are many people out there that suffer from rhythm disability on the dance floor even with full hearing capacity.   Posted by -| Mo |- on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - 4:54 PM [Reply to this]

	Jason and Troy...two dads.	I am a tremendous fan of yours! I've followed your amazing career with such awe. You provide so much inspiration to me. I was so pleased to find out that you were not only on one of my favorite TV shows (L Word) but also going to be on DWTS! I am a dancer myself and when I was in college one of my best friends was also a dance major and just happened to be deaf as well. She was an amazing dancer, absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt you'll do so well on the show. You never cease to amaze me and one of the things I love about you is that you are always challenging both yourself and the status quo. (my foster daughter also watches you on her Baby Einstein video too!)   Posted by Jason and Troy...two dads. on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 - 4:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Redeemable Messiah	Is this a REAL celebrity posting on MySpace? I am skeptical. There are many reality folks out there but real talent? Best of luck on the show. I think we can all feel the beat even if our ears can't jibe with the groove.   Posted by Redeemable Messiah on Saturday, March 01, 2008 - 3:26 AM [Reply to this]

	Body Hunter	Your accomplishments are never ending-- looking forward to cheering for you!   Posted by Body Hunter on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 5:10 PM [Reply to this]

	Deb	Bravo Marlee... I'm so excited to see you shine on DWTS. Cant wait to see you next Monday! BTW: You've done a terrific job on TLW too this season. Although I'm a TiBette fan, I'm hoping you return in S6 as part of the gang, but not with Bette. it would be great to have you continue your venture as a deaf lesbian on the show and hook up with someone OUTSIDE of the gang. Although it is typical of friends to be lovers too, it's better to see you with someone outside of the typical gang... BUT... please dont get hooked up with Paris Hilton! I dont think you guys would make a very good couple!   Posted by Deb on Tuesday, March 11, 2008 - 10:03 PM [Reply to this]

	Annemarlen	So, yay, in fact: "why not?!". Hehe, you're right, .. The rest is all possible." But truly, I think: "Wow, that's absolutly great and just Marlee. ;)   Posted by Annemarlen on Sunday, March 16, 2008 - 2:59 PM [Reply to this]

	Wonder Woman	All I can say is you GO GIRL. I have been a fan of yours for to many years to count. And to this day you still suprise me with your will. I wish you luck in this new quest. I will be watching you turn heads on DWTStars. Hope to see you on the Lword next season as well. Wishing you and your family well. Take care!
