The 51-year-old comedian/actress/motivational speaker turned up at the Media Access Awards in L.A. on Sunday, which recognizes those in the entertainment industry who hire and/or accurately portray people with disabilities.
Geri has cerebral palsy and recently starred on HBO's "Deadwood."
151. She was awesome in Deadwood! I think I've seen every episode at least three times and it gets better and better all the time. Did you catch John from Cincinatti? Actors from Deadwood kept being added each week - it was awesome!
Felt I could possibly shed some light on the comment by the infamous #14. As an avid watcher of Deadwood, I can tell you that the word that was put in quotations in #14's post, is actually the same name that she is often called in Deadwood. Not condoning it . . . just relaying what I recall.

153. I think Jewell does a fine job as an actress, and I can't agree with her more that taking non-handicapped actors/actresses and having them play the role of a handicapped person that could be played by an actor or actress with the real handicap is ridiculous.

154. She was wonderful on Deadwood - she had some of the best comebacks to Al Swearingen's character. I would love to see more of her. It would be so much better to see an actor like Geri portray a disabled character than have some a-lister actress get praise for allowing herself to be shown as disbaled like helena Boham Carter did in that film with Kenneth Brannagh. It's wonderful to see Geri is succeeding as an actor - TMZ, you should do more stories on actors with real challenges who are succeeding in their profession! They deserve the recognition!

157. I remember seeing her on Deadwood and thinking "wow that actress can really protray a person with a disability wonderfully." It drove me crazy for months on who was the actress, because I remember seeing her somewhere, but I couldn't remeber where. Then I finally learned who she was and I was pleasantly surprised and happy that she got such a fantastic role. BRING DEADWOOD BACK!
