No more pretending he is in a box


Marcel Marceau the master mime has passed away quietly at age 84. Doctors at the Paris hospital where Marceau had been admitted said, "that he kept waving his hand around and clutching his throat, but died before we could interpret that he could not breath." Wearing white face paint, soft shoes and a battered hat with a red flower he was recognized around the world.
In and interview with a BBC reporter in 1998 when asked what gift will he leave the world he said ".................................................."
And in 2006 he talked about the significance of his make up saying ".........................".
We are going to miss this master of mime.
His alter-ego Bip, when asked about the passing of Marceau, said " I really didn't know the man well, he never said a fuckin word to me, he really creeped me out."
