Marceau was a great mime, but I'm sure we were equally fascinated by his Frenchness. It was the era of Sartre, Camus, Simone Signoret, Piaf, and so many others along with Marcel Marceau. My French Lit professor (an Englishman) wore a beret every day,in every season. There were no freedom fries then.

I never knew that Marceau had lost family in the Holocaust or that he fought in the French Resistance.
