Wait till tomorrow Nelly, before giving a clue - but I did ask a question - what is the answer to that?
People will ask for clues - it is a bit of a patience game - but fun!

A few clues in that one and with the help of Google the rest is history
Willard Scott
The origin of Ronald McDonald involves Willard Scott (at the time, a local radio personality who also played Bozo the Clown on WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. from 1959 until 1962), who performed using the moniker "Ronald McDonald, the Hamburger-Happy Clown" in 1963 on three separate television spots. These were the first three television ads featuring the character.[1]
Scott, who went on to become NBC-TV's Today Show weatherman, claims to have "created Ronald McDonald" according to the following excerpt from his book Joy of Living:
At the time, Bozo was the hottest children's show on the air. You could probably have sent Pluto the Dog or Dumbo the Elephant over and it would have been equally as successful. But I was there, and I was Bozo ... There was something about the combination of hamburgers and Bozo that was irresistible to kids ... That's why when Bozo went off the air a few years later, the local McDonald's people asked me to come up with a new character to take Bozo's place. So, I sat down and created Ronald McDonald.[1]

Maybe , ha ha , but the one in the photo has passed on!
Does this help?
Well he was artistic! But an artist no!. He claimed he was a Latvian Baron but is known to be from the Northern Territory.
This is outside of where the previous picture is taken.
He's buried in Coober Pedy cemetery.

Nothing to worry about Gooba, sooner or later someone will get it.
Now we all know who this guy is but what is the story behind this particular person who plays the part...And his real name ?
