Hi all,

Haesler, over in New South Wales, OZ, mentioned Marcel Marceau (a talented 
mime):

>The celebrated French mime artiste Marcel Marceau also played the

>do a horse".


Love it!

Another Marceau anecdote was his brief appearance in the Mel Brooks motion 
picture, "Silent Movie." In the movie (in which nobody says a word) Brooks 
thinks Marceau would be a natural to play in the movie so he calls Marceau 
on the phone and asks him (via mime) if he would like to be in the movie. 
Marceau is actually on the screen for but a moment and he says the only line 
actually spoken out loud in the entire movie . . . .  "NO!"

I love that stuff!
