Marcel Marceau (22 March 1923 – 22 September 2007) was an internationally acclaimed French actor and mime most famous for his persona as Bip the Clown.
Marcel Marceau (Marcel Mangel) was born in Strasbourg, France, to Ann Werzberg and Charles Mangel.[1] When he was four, the family moved to Lille, but later returned to Strasbourg.[2] When France entered World War II, Marceau, 16, fled with his family toLimoges.[2] In 1944 his father, a kosher butcher, was captured and deported to the notoriousAuschwitz concentration camp, where he was murdered by the Nazis. Marcel's mother survived.
Marcel and his older brother, Alain, adopted the last name "Marceau" during the German occupation; the name was chosen as a reference to François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers, a general of the French Revolution.[2][3] The two brothers joined the French Resistance inLimoges, where they saved numerous children from the race laws and concentration camps, and, after the liberation of Paris, joined the French army.[2] Owing to Marcel's excellent command of the English language, he worked as a liaison officer with General Patton's army.[2][4] Marcel started miming as a way of keeping children quiet as they were escaping to neutral Switzerland.[5]
Marceau was demobilized in 1946.[2] He then enrolled as a student in Charles Dullin's School of Dramatic Art in the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris, where he studied with teachers like Joshua Smith and the great master,Étienne Decroux, who had also taught Jean-Louis Barrault. Marceau joined Barrault's company and was soon cast in the role of Arlequin in the pantomime, Baptiste - which Barrault himself had interpreted in the world-famous film Les Enfants du Paradis.[6] Marceau's performance won him such acclaim that he was encouraged to present his first "mimodrama", called Praxitele and the Golden Fish, at the Bernhardt Theatre that same year. The acclaim was unanimous and Marceau's career as a mime was firmly established.
Before beginning his career as a mime, Marcel Marceau danced with Rina Shaham (née Rosalind Gologorsky); she ended their partnership to pursue a successful career in modern dance in Israel.[citation needed]
Marceau was married three times: first to Huguette Mallet, with whom he had two sons, Michel and Baptiste; then, to Ella Jaroszewicz, with whom he had no children. His third wife was Anne Sicco, with whom he had two daughters, Camille and Aurélia.[7]
