Robert Shields was the quintessential street performer in
1970's San Francisco where he became the city's top tourist attraction
while performing on his corner of Union Square. Teaming up with
Lorene Yarnell, their mime act became a feature on The Sonny & Cher
Show (1976-1977), followed by their own Shields & Yarnell
show (1977-1978).
 As of 2002, Robert
Shields--the mime--had his own radio station, CAT, 100.1 FM, in Sedona
where he had a home, along with five retail stores selling his art, and a
restaurant, Trickster Cafe. He also had a home in Scottsdale and was
planning the expansion of his gallery shops to Scottsdale and Chandler.
Robert Shields holds the distinction for being the only
Arizona celebrity for whom we could find no birth date in any database.
