14	Alia	Raye	f	His entertainment aspirations evolved from the vaudeville shows of his youth. He began his career in a vaudeville tap show, creating the act "Sanford & Bolger" with his dance partner. In 1926, he danced at New York City's legendary Palace Theatre, the premier vaudeville theatre in the United States. His limber body and improvisational dance movement won him many leading roles on Broadway in the 1930s. Eventually, his career would also encompass film, television and nightclub work. In 1932 he was elected to the theater club, The Lambs and performed on opening night at Radio City Music Hall in December 1932. Bolger signed his first cinema contract with MGM in 1936, and although The Wizard of Oz was early in his film career, he appeared in other movies of note. His best known pre-Oz appearance was The Great Ziegfeld (1936), in which he portrayed himself. He also appeared in Sweethearts (1938), the first MGM film in Technicolor, starring Nelson Eddy, Jeanette MacDonald. He also appeared in the Eleanor Powell vehicle Rosalie (1937), which also starred Eddy and Frank Morgan. Bolger's MGM contract stipulated that he would play any part the studio chose. However, he was unhappy when he was originally cast as the Tin Woodman in the studio's 1939 feature film adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. The role of the Scarecrow had already been assigned to another dancing studio contract player, Buddy Ebsen. In time, the roles were shuffled around. Bolger's face was permanently lined by wearing the Scarecrow's makeup. Following The Wizard of Oz, Bolger moved to RKO Pictures. In 1941, he was a featured act at the Paramount Theatre in New York, working with the Harry James Band. He would do tap dance routines, sometimes in a mock-challenge dance with the band's pianist, Al Lerner. One day during this period, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and Bolger's performance was interrupted by President Roosevelt's announcement of the news of the attack. Bolger toured in USO shows in the Pacific Theater during World War II, and appeared in the United Artists wartime film Stage Door Canteen (1943. In 1946, he returned to MGM for a featured role in The Harvey Girls. Also that year, he recorded a children's album, The Churkendoose, featuring the story of a misfit fowl ("part chicken, turkey, duck, and goose") which teaches children that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it "all depends on how you look at things". Bolger's Broadway credits included Life Begins at 8:40 (1934), On Your Toes (1936), By Jupiter (1942), All American (1962) and Where's Charley? (1948), for which he won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical and in which he introduced "Once in Love with Amy", the song often connected with him. He repeated his stage role in the 1952 film version of the musical. Bolger appeared in his own ABC television sitcom with a variety show theme, Where's Raymond? (1953–1954), renamed the second year as The Ray Bolger Show (1954–55). He continued to star in several films, including Walt Disney's remake of Babes in Toyland (1961) and smaller cameos throughout the 1960s and 1970. Bolger made frequent guest appearances on television, including the episode "Rich Man, Poor Man" of the short-lived The Jean Arthur Show in 1966. In the 1970s, he had a recurring role as Fred Renfrew, the father of Shirley Partridge (Shirley Jones) on The Partridge Family, and appeared in Little House on the Prairie as Toby Noe and also guest-starred on other television series such as Battlestar Galactica, Fantasy Island and The Love Boat. In the late 1970s, reaching back to his Irish roots, Bolger played in a commercial for Safeway Supermarket's "Scotch Buy" brand. It covered many products ranging from canned food to paper towels to beer and cigarettes. Bolger popularized the jingle, "Scotch Buy - taint fancy but it shore is good." His last television appearance was on Diff'rent Strokes in 1984, three years before his death. In his later years, he danced in a Dr Pepper television commercial, and in 1985, he and Liza Minnelli, the daughter of his Oz costar Judy Garland, starred in That's Dancing!, a film also written by Jack Haley, Jr., the son of Jack Haley, who portrayed the Tin Woodman in The Wizard of Oz.	Bolger was married to Gwendolyn Rickard for over 57 years. They had no children. Bolger's great-nephew is actor John Bolger. Bolger was a lifelong Republican who campaigned for Barry Goldwater in the 1964 United States presidential election andRichard Nixon in 1968.	his entertainment aspirations evolved from the vaudeville shows of her youth. sh ebegan her career in a vaudeville tap show, creating the act "sanford & raye" with her dance partner. in 1926, sh edanced at new york city's legendary palace theatre, the premier vaudeville theatre in the united states. her limber body and improvisational dance movement won her many leading roles on broadway in the 1930s. eventually, her career would also encompass film, television and nightclub work. in 1932 sh ewas elected to the theater club, the lambs and performed on opening night at radio city music hall in december 1932. raye signed her first cinema contract with mgm in 1936, and although the wizard of oz was early in her film career, sh eappeared in other movies of note. her best known pre-oz appearance was the great ziegfeld (1936), in which sh eportaliaed himself. sh ealso appeared in sweethearts (1938), the first mgm film in technicolor, starring nelson eddy, jeanette macdonald. sh ealso appeared in the eleanor powell vehicle rosalie (1937), which also starred eddy and frank morgan. raye's mgm contract stipulated that sh ewould play any part the studio chose. however, sh ewas unhappy when sh ewas originally cast as the tin woodman in the studio's 1939 feature film adaptation of the wizard of oz. the role of the scarecrow had already been assigned to another dancing studio contract player, buddy ebsen. in time, the roles were shuffled around. raye's face was permanently lined by wearing the scarecrow's makeup. following the wizard of oz, raye moved to rko pictures. in 1941, sh ewas a featured act at the paramount theatre in new york, working with the harry james band. sh ewould do tap dance routines, sometimes in a mock-challenge dance with the band's pianist, al lerner. one day during this period, the japanese attacked pearl harbor, and raye's performance was interrupted by president roosevelt's announcement of the news of the attack. raye toured in uso shows in the pacific theater during world war ii, and appeared in the united artists wartime film stage door canteen (1943. in 1946, sh ereturned to mgm for a featured role in the harvey girls. also that year, sh erecorded a children's album, the churkendoose, featuring the story of a misfit fowl ("part chicken, turkey, duck, and goose") which teaches children that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it "all depends on how you look at things". raye's broadway credits included life begins at 8:40 (1934), on your toes (1936), by jupiter (1942), all american (1962) and where's charley?
