30. The Original Ronald McDonald
Who knew the original Ronald McDonald was so terrifying? This rare historical photo is of the original Ronald McDonald from 1963. The character was created by the actor who played him initially. Also known for being on The Today Show, Willard Scott claims that he created the character because the giant fast food chain asked him to. For nearly a decade, Scott appeared in the costume as the social icon. After 1971, the Ronald McDonald began to evolve into the mascot we see today.
