Marlee Matlin's L.A. favorites
Part of the cast of Showtime's "The L Word" as well as 2008's installment of "Dancing With The Stars," one-time Oscar winner Marlee Matlin, 42, shows no signs of slowing down. A mother of four, she's always grateful to be back home in California, even if the city has its drawbacks: "L.A.'s the movie capital of the world and there's hardly a screen here with technology for people who are deaf."
"My husband and I start the weekend with our children's soccer, baseball or football games. Afterward we might take the youngest ones to Kidspace Museum near the Rose Bowl; Kidspace has got everything from art classes to nature walks to yoga moves for kids!"
"Later I might head over to my favorite haunts on West 3rd Street -- which, when I moved to L.A., was this quiet street with one restaurant, Indigo! My first stop is the clothing racks at Polkadots & Moonbeams. I'll also check out their vintage store for gift ideas, like the brooches I got for the makeup ladies on my last movie."
"Next stop, Cook's Library for the latest cookbooks and maybe Flight 001 for travel gear."
"I never leave without a visit to Joan's on Third. Her chocolate marshmallow cream cupcakes are to die for!"
"Saturday night, my husband and I will go for the best sushi in town -- Katsu-Ya in Studio City."
"Or we'll drive into Beverly Hills for green prawns and the flash-fried gambei at Mr. Chow."
