clown pictures - painting of Leon "Buttons" McBrydeLeon McBryde (1943 - )

Inducted into the 1990 Clown Hall of Fame

A 7 year old's dream of being a clown was amply fulfilled when "Buttons" became a Ringling Brothers Circus clown after graduating from their Clown College in 1969. Following his apprentice year with the Blue Unit, he was named Ringling's Goodwill Ambassador and devised many promotional concepts, which he later taught as a Clown College instructor. Since 1983 he has appeared on "Toddlers Friends", a weekly TV show in Chicago, along with writing and producing 100 segments. In 1980, the resident of Buchanan, Virginia, created the "Ronald McDonald School Safety Show" and the "Big Red Shoe Review", also for McDonald's. At 6' 7", Buttons is a giant in his field.

He contributed to the book Clown Magic.
