Biography
Ronald Sinclair was known as Ra Hould when his parents took him to Hollywood in 1936, seeking stardom for their son in the movies. There his perceived resemblance to Freddie Bartholomew, a popular child actor of the 1930s, would work both for and against him.
“I am not a second Freddie Bartholomew. I am myself and nobody else.”
— Ronald Sinclair in an NZ Herald interview, 4 December 1937
