The bulk of these papers is devoted to Fjeld’s activities in 1985 and 1986 – the filming and broadcast of Love Is Never Silent in 1985 and the Emmy and other award ceremonies that followed in 1986, as well as her visits to deaf schools that year. Much of the material is in the form of news clippings, in particular clippings from show business trade papers such as Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. Also included are original drafts of the In This Sign/Love Is Never Silent script, alternate script pages, correspondence and other material produced during filming, and letters of congratulation to Fjeld on the broadcast and the awards.

MSS 10 has more on the making of Love Is Never Silent, in particular Fjeld’s correspondence with author Joanne Greenberg and letters of support for the use of deaf actors that Fjeld gathered.

Also present is some fragmentary material on Fjeld’s activities before and after 1985, including theater and television productions, in particular a 1978 appearance on the children’s program Captain Kangaroo. Some clippings on her post-Emmy speaking tour of deaf schools in the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest are included.
