Marcel Marceau Facts
Interred in Père Lachaisse Cemetery in Paris (2007).

In the early 1950s, he was virtually unknown in his native France (which has a strong mime tradition). Laurel & Hardy were doing a world tour and, while they were playing Paris, someone tipped them off that Marceau was doing incredible mime in an insignificant suburban theatre. They went to see him and, a few days later, instead of doing the second half of their regular show after the interval, Stan introduced Marceau and, more or less, scolded the audience for ignoring such a talent... and then Laurel & Hardy walked offstage and gave the second half of their show to Marceau.

Studied at Charles Dullin's School of Dramatic Art, studying with the renowned mime Etienne Decroux.
