He went quietly, uttered not a sound.

An inspiring example to all celebrities who ought to learn to keep their mouths shut.

Will he do the “trapped in a box” bit now?

How do we know he’s dead? He could be miming.

Seriously, I never knew about his past. There’s a lot to admire about people like him.

A mime is a terrible thing to waste.

How true that is!

I saw his show once, he was fabulous. I spent the next few days in front of a mirror trying to imitate him. RIP

With his brother Alain, Marceau became active in the French Resistance. Marceau altered children's identity cards, changing their birth dates to trick the Germans into thinking they were too young to be deported. Because he spoke English, he was recruited to be a liaison officer with Gen. George S. Patton's army.

I never knew that he was a hero who risked his own life for others.
