Shaylee Ava Mansfield (born April 6, 2009)[1] is an American actress. Mansfield, who is deaf, first gained recognition by making YouTube videos in which she told Christmas stories in American Sign Language. Mansfield appeared in an "Unforgettable Stories" video[a] advertisement by Disney Parks, in which she met Minnie Mouse, who was learning sign language at Walt Disney World. The video quickly went viral and became one of Disney's most-watched advertisements.
Mansfield made her acting debut in 2019 in Disney's Noelle. The following year, her request for automatic captioning on Instagram drew attention from several media publications and became popular on Twitter. She received further recognition for her roles in the films Feel the Beat (2020) and 13 Minutes (2021). In 2022, for her performance on Madagascar: A Little Wild, Mansfield possibly became the first deaf actress to be credited alongside the "audible" voice actors for her "sign over" performance in an animated production.
- ^ Shaylee Mansfield [@shayleemansfield] (April 6, 2023). "14 YEARS OLD. Born as one of the biggest baby and now, you're the smallest. But it's not the actual size that matters, it's the size of your spirit. A through and through Aries. You leave behind a trail of confetti from all of your party planning, food crumbs from cooking up a storm and baking sweets for others, giggles from your random jokes, and little notes of gratitude everywhere you go. When you give, it's boundless". Retrieved December 8, 2023 – via Instagram.
