	Ray Bolger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ray Bolger (January 10, 1904 – January 15, 1987) was an American entertainer of stage and screen, best known for his portrayal of the Scarecrow (and the farmworker "Hunk") in the 1939 film classic, The Wizard of Oz.
		Ray Bolger was born Raymond Wallace Bulcao to a Roman Catholic family of Portuguese and Irish extraction (see [[1]]) in Dorchester, Massachusetts, a heavily Irish neighborhood at the time.
		Bolger's sympathy for Dorothy Gale's plight, his cleverness and bravery in rescuing her from the Wicked Witch of the West (well played by Margaret Hamilton) and his deep affection for her shone through, endearing the character -- and Bolger -- in the public mind forever.
