He went quietly.

 

[Frank Browne]

I was sorry to hear that. Haven't heard much from him lately.

 

[etsisk]

mimes everywhere are honoring his passing with sixty seconds of conversation...

 

[gprellwitz]

I heard him give a speech one time. You could have heard a pin drop!

His skin was looking a little flush as of late.

I had no idea he was still alive.

 

[Greebo]

I had no idea he was still alive.

Neither did his audience...

 

[etsisk]

I think about all the mimes that have accosted innocent people on city streetcorners and plazas and I think of Marceau and I think ...






Man, do YOU have a lot to answer for!!

But he was a talent, bless his heart.

Does anybody recall his one spoken line in a film?

Yep. "Silent Movie" was the title of Mel Brooks' film. Marceau had the only spoken line in the entire film.

The set-up was that producer Mel Funn (Brooks) was recruiting stars to be in his silent movie. "Non!" was Marceau's response.

Yeah, it was in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie". He was the only one in the whole movie with a spoken line. Great stuff.

-doh, I need to type faster

 

[pookies]

That is sad to hear. I got to see him back in highschool.
