Marlee Matlin eliminated from ‘Dancing with the Stars’
April 23rd, 2008
Associated Press in the Washington Post:
For the third consecutive week, a last-place finish has led to elimination on “Dancing With the Stars.”
This week’s celebrity casualty was Marlee Matlin, who came into Tuesday’s results show with 21 out of 30 points. The actress lost her timing at various points during her mambo Monday with professional partner Fabian Sanchez, and the judges took note.
… Judge Bruno Tonioli noticed “a few stumbles” but still called Matlin’s performance “a great achievement.”
“What you do here is a plus for the show,” he said.
