Shaylee Mansfield (born April 6, 2009) is an American actress and YouTuber who is deaf. Mansfield was born in Burbank, California, and first gained recognition by making videos in which she tells 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 actor to be credited alongside the "audible" voice actors for her "sign over" performance in an animated production.
