Description: Marcel Marceau (1923-2007) French actor and mime artist most famous for his stage persona, "Bip the Clown." He referred to mime as the "art of silence," performing professionally worldwide for over 60 years. As a Jewish youth, he lived in hiding and worked with the French Resistance during most of World War II, giving 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. He established his own pantomime school in Paris in 1959 and subsequently set up the Marceau Foundation to promote the art in the U.S. Among his various awards and honors were the "Grand Officier de la Légion d'Honneur" (1998) and the National Order of Merit (1998) in France. He won the Emmy Award for his work on television, was elected member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin, and was declared a "National treasure" in Japan. He had a 20-year friendship with Michael Jackson, who said he used some of Marceau's techniques in his own dance steps. Rare - Nice authentic photo back signed in person in Avignon in 1984.
