He never had anything to say ...

Another passing in the world of notables, Marcel Marceau, the worldly famous mime. He was 84.

With the famous white face paint, soft shoes and a battered hat topped with a red flower, Marceau played the entire range of human emotions onstage for more than 50 years, never uttering a word. Offstage, however, he was famously chatty. "Never get a mime talking. He won't stop," he once said. A French Jew, Marceau survived the Holocaust - and also worked with the French Resistance to protect Jewish children.

Too bad more people could not learn from him, silence in the word is more important than hearing the word.
