Nicholas,

He hasn't performed since 1989 and I am quite sure you've never seen
him performing.

Part of one's perspecitve is how long they've been living. It is virtually
impossible for a mid-thirties individual to have seen and lived what someone
twice that age has.

I first saw Marceau perform on his US tour in 1956 at age 9, and have seen
his performances many times since on the tube. Barbara could correctly call
me "Junior", and I'd bet she saw his performances before I did.

Didn't know that he was such a big shot in the US of A.
