100 years ago, a boy was born in Strasbourg, France, to the Mangel family.
As a child, he saw a Charlie Chaplin silent movie, which sparked his interest in fantasy.
During the Nazi occupation of northern France in WW2, Marcel and his brother joined the French Resistance and took the surname Marceau, after a French Revolutionary general. They helped many children escape France to neutral Switzerland. To keep the kids quiet during the journey, he'd use mime as a "silent entertainment". After Liberation, he was a translator liaison for General Patton's Third Army.
Marcel Marceau.
(I remember seeing him on Ed Sullivan's TV show in the 1950s in b/w. For you young folks, black and white TV was all we had in those days.)
