HARRY DANN: National Geographic

Here's a refreshing change, it's Harry Dann wearing Harry Dann's makeup.

Harry was the quintessential mid-century "picture clown" with his image promoted heavily during his years with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

Harry's distinct neat whiteface makeup was appropriated by scores of other clowns and continues to be used to this day on posters, programs and circus tickets around the world.
