#Quote
1[When asked how much money he made from the repeat showings of The Wizard of Oz (1939), he and his wife often responded] No residuals, just immortality.

#Fact
1Despite persistent web rumors, Ray was born Raymond Wallace Bolger, and the family's surname was never "Bulcao". His father, James Edward Bolger, was the son of Raymond Bolger and Maria Mahoney. His mother, Anne C. (Wallace), was the daughter of William Wallace and Joanna Hassett. All of his grandparents were of Irish origin.
2Ray Bolger passed away five days after his 83rd birthday.
3Inducted into the International Tap Dance Hall of Fame in 2015.
4Inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 1980.
5He was posthumously awarded a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars on January 10, 1998.
6He was a member of the Good Shepherd Parish and the Catholic Motion Picture Guild in Beverly Hills, California.
7Bolger was among those entertainers who opened Manhattan's famed Radio City Music Hall on December 27, 1932. After the management realized that the public's taste for vaudeville had waned, it cut back on the live entertainment and supplemented it with movies.
8Made his first Broadway stage appearance in 1926.
9Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume Two, 1986-1990, pages 115-116. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1999.
10Won Broadway's 1949 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for "Where's Charley?", a role he recreated in the film version, Where's Charley? (1952). He was also nominated in the same Tony Award category in 1962 for "All American".
11Was the last surviving cast member of The Wizard of Oz (1939).
12Following his death, he was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.
13He was always closely identified with the Scarecrow. He once guest starred on the game show Password All-Stars (1961). When the word "Ray" came up, he said to his partner "Me!". His partner readily answered "Scarecrow!".
14He was awarded 2 Stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Pictures at 6788 Hollywood Boulevard; and for Television at 6834 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California.
15Great-uncle of actor John Bolger.
