Marcel Marceau was a big star in the US, touring the country every year. I was fortunate to see him many times on stage in NY.
His greatest American role was in Mel Brooks’ SILENT MOVIE in 1979, in which he had the only speaking role. Brilliant!

I liked the guy. I never disagreed with a thing he said.
I do remember seeing him around a few times when I was a kid. I thought he was entertaining. I believe he was well respected for his craft.
Hate to see anyone set sail for the great hereafter...
I’d say good-bye Marcel, but I think you’d appreciate the most, a silent sincere okay sign followed by a wave...

A man more famous for being famous I always thought.
It was only on his death I learned that his name is a pseudonym, he is actually jewish, his father died in the concentration camps, and he himself was in the macquis (french resistance).

Marcel Marceau was a great artist, greatly appreciated in his own country and all over the world.
The art of Mime, derived from the Italian Commedia dell’Arte is not well understood by many. A shame.
He was a great artist, and a great man.

The great thing about this is....now he won’t have to pretend he’s in a box! He’ll really BE in one!

Most of his work was not only funny, but very clever.
Really unlike much of what passes for comedy today...
Not just saying a word for shock value and expecting a laugh.
