#5 Ronald's Origins

The clown known as Ronald McDonald made his first appearance in 1963 and was played by a local radio personality named Willard Scott. Scott later found fame as the weatherman on NBC's today show. In later years, Ronald, as played by other actors, has ditched the box hat, but is still as friendly and inadvertently creepy as ever.
