Disability is a minority that has been featured in some way
throughout Hollywood's history --
from major star turns like Sean
Penn's in "I am Sam" to smaller
parts such as John Leguizamo playing Toulouse-Lautrec in
"Moulin Rouge!"
Disability roles can be the focus of a movie (think "A
Beautiful Mind" or "Rain Man") or it
can be mainstreamed as a character
who happens to use a wheelchair or
is deaf. Filmmakers frequently use
disability to make a character seem
more evil, as in the villain in "Wild, Wild West," who is a
double amputee.
Is the celluloid image of disability getting better or worse?
Check out iCan's list of movies
featuring disabilities. From
blockbusters such as "Forrest Gump"
to lesser-known films like "Frankie Starlight" and
classics such as "It's a
Wonderful Life," see what Hollywood does with characters with
disabilities.
