   This weekend the world lost its most famous mime. Here are a few famous quotes by Marceau, about his role as a mime and the way he perceived the world. Rest in peace Marcel.

   He had the only speaking part in Mel Brooks 1976 movie "Silent Movie". He say "Non!" when asked to be in a movie.

   I though he was a great artist, but, as a boy, he made me feel creepy because he had those slippers.

   I know it's a horrible thing to say, but after seeing that video I'm pretty happy he's done.

   He was also in the French resistance during WW2. Big guy leaving us. Hats down.

    If only the whole worthless juvenile "mime" crap would die with him.

    //I'm sending him a single finger "mime" salute right now.

    I saw him on stage in Nashville, TN when I was young and still growing (and still soft impressionable clay). It must have been the third row center where I sat.
    Although his word voice was silent, I recall M.M.'s animal-like puff blasts that released in his breathing as he contorted through each "skit".
    By my being so close, what I see in my remembering thoughts is the excersion that his body ( He was still considered simi-old then ((mid or late 60's)) twisted about and the facial expression to project outward, far past where I viewed him.
    The director/comicbook writer/tarot card expert/ early student of MM,..... Mr. A. Jordowowsky(sp?), I only found out latter, wrote my more memorable bits that M.M. had preformed that night. A life lived has many veiled connections that continue until the end.

    I just couldn't watch that - too boring. I think maybe we've grown a little too sophisticated for that style of entertainment nowadays.

    Mimes are kinda scary.
