...and I helped! One of my main projects during lockdown was collaborating with the brothers Ron Howard and Clint Howard on their joint memoir of growing up as child actors in the 1960s and 70s. I am so pleased with how it has come out, and I suspect you will be, too. Beyond the frissons of nostalgia you might feel about “The Andy Griffith Show,” “Gentle Ben,” ”Star Trek,” “American Graffiti,” and “Happy Days,” you will learn about an eccentric and extraordinary set of parents named Rance and Jean Howard, who instilled good values and strong work ethics in their two sons—which helps explain why Ron and Clint are alive and well to tell their story. BONUS: Ron and Clint recorded the audiobook themselves. Ron hasn’t acted onscreen in years, so this is as close as it gets to a new Ron performance. And Clint is funny and fantastic.
