RIP

Marcel Marceau passed away last Saturday September 22. He died of a heart attack in his house in France; he was 84. I am not a die hard fan or anything, but he was a very interesting person as well as an artist. I bet you if you say the name "Marcel Marceau" most people will say, yeah- I've heard the name.....but may not be able to tell you that he was in fact, the most famous mime artist that has ever lived. It's interesting to me that someone can actually make a living being a mime. He was a writer and an actor too- but miming (is that a word?) was his gig. In 1999 NYC declared March 18 to the Marcel Marceau Day....I'm not sure I'll mark my calendar, but I think it's pretty cool.
