He was born into a Jewish family and joined the Resistance after changing his last name to Marceau during World War Two. Afterward, he studied under pantomimist Étienne Decroux and at the Sarah Bernhardt Theatre’s School of Dramatic Art in Paris. After achieving his first success—playing the part of Arlequin in the pantomime Baptiste—he entirely focused on the form and established a mime team.
In the 1950s, his “mimodrama” adaptation of Nikolay Gogol’s short story “The Overcoat” and his well-received public performances brought him widespread renown. He then undertook foreign tours and opened a mimodrama school in Paris in 1978. Moreover, Marceau appeared in a number of films, such as Barbarella (1968) and Silent Movie (1976). He stopped performing in 2005. Marceau, a multiple-award winner, was appointed an officer of the Legion of Honor (1970). As in this paragraph, we discussed What Was Marcel Marceau Most Famous For?
