Marcel Marceau spoke once (on War)

[TomInTib]

A quiet man.... never uttering a word.... that was the trademark of the world's most famous Mime.... the man that turned silence into an art. When one thinks of Marcel Marceau, one thinks of a funny little man with a painted face going through all sorts of body movements to make a point... bringing joy to millions while doing just that..

But once he spoke; in 2001 he granted an interview to a freelance journalist named Jeremy Josephs... what he said are words to be remembered... especially the last ones in the interview... "All wars are criminal"...... those words are from a holocaust survivor... a true believer in 'NEVER AGAIN'----- TO ANYONE!

An excerpt from the interview mentioned follows,

5. He said one word onscreen. It was in a Mel Brooks movie, "Silent Movie"

It was one word, but it comes as a shock because it is the only word spoken in the movie.


See the movie to learn the word.
