Willard Scott created Ronald McDonald and was the first person to play him, appearing in local commercials for Washington, D.C. area McDonald's. Kids (and the media) fell in love with the friendly clown-clad pitchman; thus his character quickly blossomed into the international enigma we all grew up adoring. Oficially, his first public appearance was in 1963 at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Scott based Ronald on Bozo the Clown, whom he played on the "Bozo the Clown Show", which was popular in New England when I was a youngster.
