I turned around and the clown was gone. The sad little man with so many funny faces. They say he seldom knew when he was the clown, or himself. The two personae melted together, and created a gift. And now, that gift of laughter is gone. But I know the clown, he wouldn't want us to be sad. He would pull a face out of his bag and make us laugh, and we would laugh until we cried. *for Jonathan Harshman Winters III Born- November 11, 1925 Dayton, Ohio Died- April 11, 2013 (aged 87) Montecito, California Comedian, actor, artist, author Quote: "I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it."
