Marcel Marceau has been truely silenced...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7009040.stm
The French mime artist Marcel Marceau has died at the age of 84, the AFP news agency has reported. The performer was known around the world for his silent portrayal of a white-faced clown with battered hat. Born in Strasbourg in 1923, Marceau studied under mime master Etienne Decroux in Paris. His daughter, Camille, said he died on Saturday evening, adding that details of the burial at Paris' Pere Lachaise cemetery would be given out later. Silent films Marceau, whose real name was Marcel Mangel, became world famous for his 1947 creation of Bip, the sad, white-faced clown in a striped jumper and a battered silk opera hat. He was single-handedly responsible for reviving the art of mime after World War II, after two decades of being eclipsed by the silent movie. Marceau was inspired to become a mime by the great American actors of the silent era such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Harry Langdon. His Compagnie Marcel Marceau was the only mime troupe in the world in the 1950s and 1960s, which enjoyed as much acclaim abroad as at home. From 1969 to 1971 he directed the Ecole Internationale de Mime before founding his Ecole Internationale de Mimodrame in Paris in 1978. He also made several films including Un Jardin Public. He enjoyed particular popularity in the US, Japan and China.
