Marcel Marceau, French Mime Artist, Dead at 84

Another famous person has passed away. Marcel Marceau was best known around the world for his portrayal of a white-faced clown with a battered hat. He became world famous for his l947 creation of Bip, the sad, white-faced clown in a striped jumper and a battered silk opera hat. A friend of his said he was an extraordinary person. He trained with an extraordinary master and because of his wonderful witty personality he was able to captivate his audiences. I, myself, loved to see him perform.
