The French mime Marcel Marceau died yesterday. He was 84 years old.

His real name was Marcel Mangel. His most famous character was Bip, the white faced clown wearing a striped jumper and a battered silk hat. Supposedly, he was inspired to become a mime by the great actors of the silent era such as Charlie Chaplin & Buster Keaton.

I had the good fortune to see him perform; he was marvelously expressive.

RIP sir.

I heard they buried him with no coffin.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

It appears that our Bip was a hero durring WW11. He joined the french resistance against the occupation where he altered ID cards for children so they could avoid deportation.
