A Moment of Silence for Marcel Marceau

Marcel Marceau, perhaps the world's greatest mime, died Saturday. He was 84. His last words were, "....................................... ." Actually, as one might expect from a mime, he died quietly in his sleep.
What many people don't know is that sometime in the 1970s, when record labels could afford to do such things, Marceau released a limited run "Greatest Hits" album on the MGM label. The album consisted of 27 minutes (some say 40 minutes) of silence with applause at the end.
