I saw him perform once, live on stage. I was very poor at the time and saved for weeks in order to purchase a ticket. It was worth every penny. I'll never forget it. Until I get Alzheimer's. But then it'll be okay, because I'll also have forgotten all the shitty stuff that's happened to me since I saw Marcel Marceau.

Caroline, nobodies nose knows.

Anne, performers are peculiar people. Some we hold the memory.

As an aside, I watched a performance by Rudolph Nureyev, once, when he was long past his prime. Slow, arthritic, pot bellied. I appreciate his courage to present himself on stage like that, but it is difficult for me, now, to remember him as he was.
