The Massachusetts State Association of the Deaf interviewed VSA's Bonnie Kaplan (BK) for the Autumn 2012 issue of Deaf Community News (DCN).
DCN: Hi, glad you could join us for this interview.
Please tell us about who you are, where you went to
school all your life, and how did you get to where you
are now?
BK: I was born to hearing parents and have a younger
Deaf brother. I attended the Boston School for the
Deaf from the time I was 4 years old in 1964, and
stayed until 1972. In 6th grade I was mainstreamed at
a private school for girls, Brimmer and May, which is
located in Chestnut Hill, and was their first Deaf
student. I excelled in sports and went on to graduate
in 1979. After high school I went to the University of
New Hampshire (UNH) and majored in Food Service
Management. In 1981, I moved out to LA and worked
for Lorimar Productions as a Research Associate for
several years. We studio was known for its TV shows
such as "Dallas", "The Waltons", "Falcon Crest", "Perfect Strangers", "Little House on the Prairie", etc., and other TV mini series.
