Michael Jackson was a bird.
I don’t think MJ ever claimed to have invented the moonwalk. In interviews he was open about that fact that Jeffrey Daniel and Cooley Jackson taught it to him.
A mime does an awesome moonwalk in a French film from the 40’s or 50’s. It’s not Marcel Marceau though. I checked his IMDB list and none of the titles are films I’ve seen. The film was about a romantic triangle and it was set in Paris during the Nazi occupation. Anyone know the name of the movie? It’s been bugging me ever since the moonwalk discussion started.
Wow. Is that real?
Bowie does some great miming on the Ziggy Stardust DVD. The classic “pull yourself across the stage with a rope” and “stuck in a box” routines look pretty amazing done in full space alien getup.
