Marcel Marceau (born Marcel Mangel - 1923-2007) was a French mime artist and actor most famous for his stage persona, "Bip the Clown".
As a Jewish youth, he lived in hiding and worked with the French Resistance during most of World War II,, for which he was credited with saving 75 children from the Nazis. He gave his first major performance to 3,000 troops after the liberation of Paris in August. Following the war, he studied dramatic art and mime in Paris.
With his body as his only instrument, Marcel Marceau brought the art of mime to stages around the world, imposing a universal language. He who knew how to "make visible the invisible” gave life to characters who, without saying a word, express life as it is, with its struggles, its hopes, its dreams.
