[Nfbmo] The glass ceiling for blind performers

[Nancy Lynn]

I'll talk a bit about facial expressions. You don't have to see them to 
display them naturally. I'm told I have a rubber face and shouldn't expect 
to do well at poker. Sometimes my face says things I don't really want it to 
say. I guess to be able to display the facial expressions called for in a 
particular role, you'd have to really feel the emotions so deeply that the 
appropriate expressions show up naturally without your having to control 
them or produce them intentionally. I remember my mother saying that she was 
worried that I wouldn't have facial expressions when she found out that I'd 
be blind. She didn't have to worry about that long, apparently.
