Today, we wish a very happy birthday to actor Ray Bolger (Toby Noe)! Ray was a TV presenter, singer, dancer and stage performer who started in the silent film era. He was a major Broadway performer in the 1930s and beyond. You might remember him as the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz, but did you know he appeared in Little House on the Prairie? Can you spot him? https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B00JKC42TY/ref=atv_dp | Little House on the Prairie

Here we see the talented Ray Bolger dancing to “I’m Gonna Ring the Bell Tonight” in the film “April in Paris” (1952). It also starred Doris Day. Bolger is perhaps best known for his role as the Scarecrow in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939). But he was an accomplished actor, singer, dancer, vaudevillian, and stage performer. #raybolger #raybolgerscarecrow #aprilinparis #dorisday #dancer #dancing #dance #tapdancer #tapdancing #oldhollywood #goldenageofhollywood #oldhollywoodglamour #oldhollywoodmusicals

Did you know that Ray Bolger, seen here as Scarecrow, was originally cast as the Tin Woodman? Buddy Ebsen had been cast as Scarecrow, but Ray Bolger eventually won his fight with the studio and got the role. Ebsen would take on the role of the Tin Man, which also, never materialized. | The Oz Archive | Facebook
