Marcel Marceau 22 March 1923 - 22 Septempber 2007
No other performer did more to re-establish the widespread popularity of mime than Marceau, who described it as "the drama of silence that speaks direct to mind and emotion". For 40 years he toured his silent one-man show all over the world, seeming to conjure out of thin air butterflies, chairs, lions, the bars of a prison cell, or the panic of a mask-maker unable to rip the grin from his face.
