A moment of silence please...
Marcel Marceau, who revived the art of mime and brought poetry to silence, has died.

Hard to resist making a clever post, but this man was an amazing performer. What he did was light years away from annoying street mimes, or Shields and Yarnell.
One of the first professional theatre experiences in my life was seeing him perform at the Shubert in L.A. What an inspiration for a young actor. I am truly saddened. RIP, Bip.

There is some very interesting interview material with Marcel Marceau in the DVD supplements of the Alejandro Jodorowsky film FANDO & LIS. (It's also a fascinating look at Jodorowsky himself, arguably more compelling than the main feature.)
I first recall seeing Marceau on Mister Rogers Neighborhood. It tickles me that I can draw a straight line from Mister Rogers to Jodorowsky. |

Not a week has goes by when I do not quote his line from Silent Movie at least, once (with accompanying gesture). Sadly, that one line from the film and a forward he wrote for a book on Chaplin, is all I know about the man.

I saw him perform just a few years ago at the Geffen. Even north of 80 years old, he was one of the best performers I've ever seen, of any kind. From a routine about old ladies on a park bench to a mime rendition of the formation of the earth, he extended one's imagination into places it had never been.
