Shockingly Marcel Marceau Dies Quietly
Marcel Marceau, the master of mime who transformed silence into poetry with lithe gestures and pliant facial expressions that spoke to generations of young and old, has died. He was 84.
Wearing white face paint, soft shoes and a battered hat topped with a red flower, Marceau breathed new life into an art that dates to ancient Greece. He played out the human comedy through his alter-ego Bip without ever uttering a word.
Marceau's Will requires that anyone attending his funeral wear white face paint and that his body be electrically charged so it never stops twitching. "This still thing has gotten old."
