Nice post, but does this thread belong in Other Music?

Learned today that his father was killed at Auschwitz, and that Marcel worked for the French Resistance. Cool guy. RIP

I was always enchanted by his graceful hand movement.

Somebody's gotta say it: he died quietly in his sleep.

Seriously, though, I had no idea he was still alive. To someone of my generation he may as well have invented mime. RIP.

So are Shields and Yarnell. Incredibly enough they are still performing. Yarnell is an insanely good looking woman for being damn near 60!

...not sure who they are. But I have find memories of seeing Marcel Marceau when I was a kid. Sweltering in a 2ooo seat basketball arena, barely able to see between the shouldsters of the oldsters - and transfixed, in utter silence.
One of my earliest performance memories, ironically silent performances.

You're not talking about that Shields dude on the PBS news are you?

You seriously don't know who Shields and Yarnell are? They were very popular in the 70's.
