Famed French mime Marcel Marceau, known for his strict reticence, is speaking out in support of awareness of the rights of the elderly. On Thursday, Marceau, 78, was named the United Nations goodwill ambassador for the 2002 World Assembly on Aging. Marceau said he is “not a man of talk,” but vowed to represent the cause diligently. Marceau gained fame decades ago as a compassionate, silent mime who once starred in Mel Brooks‘ film Silent Movie.
