I caught an interview with Marcel Marceau on The Connection. He’s still kickin’ at 81 years old, and it’s a treat to hear him talk on the radio. I started listening at first for the sheer novelty of it, but I quickly became drawn in. I didn’t know he was part of the French Resistance fighting Nazis in World War II. And to listen to him speak about his art, his experiences, and what it is to be alive…just incredible. I came to understand that this man has really touched millions over a career than spans 60 years.

The audio interview is, unfortunately, in RealAudio format, but you can download Real Alternative and Tara’s Real Audio Plugin for Winamp and avoid all that spyware crap.
