I just noticed Marcel Marceau died yesterday:
http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/09/23/marc...ref=mpstoryviewHe was 84 and, of course, the most famous (iconic?) mime in the world. I liked the quotation from that link where he says:
QUOTE
Wearing white face paint, soft shoes and a battered hat topped with a red flower, Marceau, notably through his famed personnage Bip, played the entire range of human emotions onstage for more than 50 years, never uttering a word. Offstage, however, he was famously chatty. "Never get a mime talking. He won't stop," he once said.
I'm reminded of the autobiography of Harpo Marx: "Harpo Speaks!"
