French mime artist Marceau dies

The French mime artist Marcel Marceau has died at the age of 84, the AFP news agency has reported.

The performer was known around the world for his silent portrayal of a white-faced clown with battered hat.
Born in Strasbourg in 1923, Marceau was inspired by silent era actors like Charlie Chaplin, and studied under mime master Etienne Decroux in Paris. His character Bip, the white-faced clown in striped pullover and hat, made his first appearance in 1947.

This is such a shame. When I thought of mime, his name was the first that came to mind.
