Today’s Google Doodle honors the birthday of Marcel Marceau, the most famous mime artist of all time. Marceau was born on March 22, 1923, in Strasbourg, France.
He developed a passion for acting and mime at a young age and joined a resistance group during World War II that helped Jewish children escape Nazi persecution.
After the war, he studied with renowned mime teacher Étienne Decroux and created his iconic character Bip, a white-faced clown with a striped shirt and a red flower.
Marceau performed worldwide for more than six decades, captivating audiences with his expressive gestures and silent comedy.
He was also a humanitarian who supported many causes and founded a school of mime in Paris. He died in 2007 at the age of 84.
The Google Doodle features an animated Marceau performing some of his most famous routines, such as walking against the wind, being trapped in an invisible box, and pulling a rope, reports CNET.
The doodle also pays tribute to his signature style and influence on pop culture icons like Michael Jackson and Charlie Chaplin.
Marceau once said: “Do the most moving moments of our lives not find us without words?” Today, we celebrate his life and legacy with silent applause.
