Re:  Helen Keller as a mute character

     Helen Keller was NOT congenitally mute.  Check out the movie/play
again.  Near the end she learns to say "wah-wah" (water).  Helen learned
Braille and learned to speak intelligibly (though I can't attest to that
personally).  I believe that as an adult she did quite a bit of public
speaking.
