Actress Bethany Anne Lind discusses the portrayal of stuttering in motion pictures and live theater. We are all changing the narrative about stuttering.
Bethany Anne Lind is an acclaimed actress who makes her home here in Georgia. I had the pleasure of teaching her to stutter for the award-winning play Carapace- at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta. In addition to an extensive live theater portfolio, she has had roles in Ozark, The Walking Dead, The Stranger Things. Streaming now is her movie Blood on Her Name. We discuss how stuttering is portrayed in theater and movies. After decades of tolerance for belittling people who stutter and making stuttering a punchline, we are now seeing a shift in the narrative about stuttering. It is my opinion that the acting and film industry has a responsibility to respect people who stutter. The ADA protects people who stutter against discrimination. The King's Speech and Carapace are two triumphs for people who stutter. Documentaries When I Stutter and My Beautiful Stutter are newer additions to a catalog of better portrayal of stuttering and the impact it has on people. After listening to Bethany Anne Lind, begin enjoying her talent on your television and watch for her in local theater.
