Bozo the Clown

Frank Avruch, who played Bozo the Clown from 1959 to 1970, has died.

Avruch was the Boston Bozo..

Larry Harmon was the owner of the character and he franchised it in big TV markets across the country.

Bob Bell played him here in Chicago for almost 25 years. -Chi-Town Jerry, Ace of Spades

[Harmon] didn't originate the character, though. Bozo was originally just a cartoon character created at Capitol Records by Alan Livingston. It was for a series of children's book/record combos.

The first live-action Bozo was Pinto Colvig, also known for being the voice of Disney's Pluto and Goofy characters. -Anagram Nation, Ace of Spades
