Ray Bolger
	(1904 - 1987)
	Ray Bolger was an American entertainer of stage and screen, best known for his portrayal of the Scarecrow (and the farmworker "Huck") in the 1939 film classic, The Wizard of Oz. Ray Bolger was born Raymond Wallace Bulcão to a Roman Catholic family of Portuguese and Irish extraction in Dorchester, Massachusetts, a heavily Irish neighborhood at the time. His father was a house-painter, his mother a homemaker. He was inspired by the vaudeville shows he attended when he was young to become an entertainer himself. He began his career as a dancer. His limber body and ability to ad lib movement won him many starring roles on Broadway in the 1930s.
