Ron Howard and Jerry Paris and Happy Days

[Harriet Browder]

> Ron Howard was a guest on the Smartless Podcast

Interesting article, Jeff. Thank you for posting.

I had to share the one paragraph when Ron calls Jerry Paris a genius.  I’m a 
member on the FaceBook group Dick Van Dyke Show and Paris is a beloved 
character. Ron is so humble. He says he was offered chances to direct Happy 
Days episodes but didn’t want to rob the cast of even one week of no Jerry. 
Ron’s hair may be cut big city style but his heart is shaped in a bowl.

Another TAGS link is Jerry’s wife on DVD Show…Ann Morgan Guilbert who appeared 
in  Aunt Bee’s Cousin.

Mayberry spreads far and wide.

New Ron Howard movie

[gmsproductions]

Ron Howard's new movie "Hillbilly Elegy" is being filmed here in Macon,
Georgia.  There have been lots of questions as to whether or not Ron is, or
will be, in town, but so far so sightings.

Quite honestly, everyone here is looking in the wrong places - the filming
locations. He wouldn't show up there until the best time to do anything -
tomorrow. So he may be with Mr. Dave trying out a homemade fishing lure.
I'm pretty sure he's not hanging out in the woods with his merry men helping
someone who's down on his luck. So far, no pies or hams have been reported
missing. Of course he could still be in the woods looking for men with
shiny, silver hats who walk in the trees. But when and if he arrives, I'm
fairly certain he will come in on the bus that says "MACON" on the front.

Hats and Ron Howard

[Margaret Bentle]

Could it be that the Ladies Garden club was meeting at Clara's home. So no
hat required for Clara, but the ladies visiting wore hats.

I looked it up on Internet Movie Database that Ron's first acting job was
in 1956 on Frontier Woman in a bit part.  I thought his first job was on
Make Room for Daddy.

Here's Ronnie Howard in the episode "Walking Distance," which was a great
one. It's viewable on NetFlix, and I believe it was one of his very first
roles, before TAGS, in 1959.

 I saw it also-not sure what episode. He wasn't saying anything much-was

 If he didn't say anything there will be no recognition, hence no credit for

Ron Howard

[DAVID QUINN]

 Regarding the Ron Howard appearance in Greensboro, Ann, I will not be able to 
be there, but if I did make it I think I would like to ask Ron Howard if he had 
any regrets about getting involved in politics in 2008. Our little Opie has 
done so many wonderful things, not only while on TAGS, but even all the later 
marvelous movies he has directed. In my opinion, not a clunker in the 
bunch.But also, in my opinion, I do not think he should have ever gotten 
involved in politics.There have so many examples over the years of 
Hollywood types getting involved in politics turning out badly, that we could 
have seen this coming.

At any rate, anyone going to the gathering, tell Opie hi from all of his long 
time friends and admirers.

Ron Howard the actor and Jack Dobson

[Silvia Boosten]

Hi Mayberry Friends,

Ron Howard surely is a wonderful, and very natural, actor.
The scene where he looks at Andy in A Medal For Opie where Andy says, I want 
you to know one thing, I'm disappointed in ya.  His expression says exacting 
how badly he feels.  

Ron Howard played Seth, Jason's friend in the Walton's.
Seth dies later from leukemia.  He gives Jason his flute.
The scenes are ones I won't forget.

Jack Dodson played in Happy Days as Ritchie's friend,
Ralph's, father.  He is a dentist.

Ron Howard

[Victor Friskey]

In response to P.D. King's post about Ron Howard.

I would agree he was a fine child actor. I think you mentioned something about 
Shirley Temple. ..The two of them 
can't be fairly compared. Shirley was a big screen movie star, Ron was a small 
screen star. Shirley was popular in a time
when the country was coming out of the Depression and she gave people a release 
from their every day lives. Ron 
was performing in the sixties when we were living in a time of prosperity. 
In 1933-34 Shirley outdrew every Hollywood actor on the big screen including, 
Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Katherine Hepburn, Rita 
Hayworth, and Clark Gable. Why she never got an Oscar for performing I'll never 
know. As far as child actors of 60's and 70's on television I have to agree no 
other male child measured up to Opie Taylor. Most were given lines that were 
beyond there years and were saddled with worn out catch phrases. You got it 
Dude. the Olsen twins, On Full House or Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis ? Gary 
Coleman, on Different Strokes. The kids on Leave it to Beaver sometimes sounded 
like they were reading their lines. The kid on Dick Van Dyke, talked to loud.   
 But when we look at the female child actresses we have to consider Melissa 
Gilbert (Laura Ingalls) of Little House. Michael Landon was supposed to be the 
star 
but Melissa stole the show. No other female child actress could measure up to 
her...And like Ron Howard went on to become an award winning director, Melissa 
Gilbert became a fine adult actress in her own right. So I give Ron Howard the 
best male child actor recognition in the last 50 years but I also recognize 
Melissa Gilbert as the best female child actress.

Speaking of Ron Howard, not only a great actor, but not a hint of scandal in

Brenda, when you say there was no scandal in Ron Howard's life, you obviously 
have not seen one of his very first adult movies, Eat My Dust.   Martha and I 
watched his movie at the local drive in circa 1977.   My, my, my, all the 
things Opie was doing.   Andy should have taken Opie out to the woodshed that 
he told Mr. Winkler was behind the courthouse.

Ron Howard

[Marguerite]

ITA Janet. Ron Howard was as good as Shirley Temple or Jane Withers, two child 
actors from the 30's. If you look at those Olson twins, they often seemed to 
look off camera so one can assume they were being coached. Or Gary Coleman. He 
would say something cute then kind of grin or make a face as tho he was saying 
aren't I cute?. In addition, RH didn't have the one liners and catch phrases 
everybody has today. Even Richie C would, when angry, call someone buck oh 
and when in love sang Blueberry Hill. The Olson twins as Michelle would say 
ooh, you're gonna get it mister or sister depending upon who it was. The 
Griffith show didn't do that. Except for Leon and his pbj sandwiches nobody 
did the same thing more than a few times.  It made things more realistic, IMO.

These opinions are just mine and may not represent the opinions of the rest of 
the board.

Re: Ron Howard

[pdking77]

Marguerite,
I tend to agree with you, but to be fair you're comparing child actors from 
completely different eras.  Ron was a young actor where venues small and 
exposure was limited.  Between Ron's time and that of the Olsen twins the 
internet and cable/satellite options exploded, talent pools, as a result were 
thinned.  Fifty or sixty years ago the cream truly rose to the top.  The likes 
of Macaulay Culkin and the Olsen twins, et al, would have remained unknowns 
when Ron was Opie.  Let's bring Our Gang into the conversation.  What made 
them different was that they were 'natural' children, at least during the Hal 
Roach days (the abominable MGM days were different).  They didn't act, they 
were themselves, even using their own real names.  Shirley Temple auditioned to 
be in Our Gang, but was turned away because of her acting skills, not in 
spite of it.  The most endearing scene, and short, (in my opinion) for the Our 
Gang comedies was Bobby 'Wheezer' Hutchins in Dogs is Dogs.  Could Shirle
 y Temple, either Olsen, or Macaulay have made that short work?  Absolutely 
not.  A young Ron Howard?  Very likely, but honestly, probably not quite as 
well.  But the days of child actors like Ron are gone, never likely to be seen 
again.

Mayberrry reference by Ron Howard

[jgr...@frontier.com]

I have been watching the TV show Arrested Development on Netflix.
 
For those not familiar, Ron Howard is the Narrator of this comedy and 
ocassionally makes cameo appreances.  I think is is probably also the producer,
 
Fair warning..its not Mayberry..in terms of  age-appropriate content.
 
In a Season 4 Episode Ron appears as himself,  and he was getting a haircut, 
but strangely still wearing his ball cap.
 
He referred to the Barber as Floyd..which was a nice Griffith Show/Howard 
McNear  tribute..but he took it a step further and said.
 
I call all my Barbers Floyd.
 
Only Mayberry Fans probably got it so of course I thought it was cool.

I watched The Gift episode on The Waltons yesterday and Ron Howard played

Rance Howard great in another Ron Howard Film

[GRITTON, JOE A]

This weekend I watched the Ron Howard Film Angels and Demons.  This film was 
the Sequel to the Davinci Code.. both  based on controversial Dan Brown Novels.

This film, like many of  Ron Howard's..was not Mayberry..but it was very well 
done in the genre.  I was pleasantly surprised to see his father, Rance as 
Cardinal Beck during the Papal Conclave.   He was very convincing.  They guy 
can be everything from a Gold Truck Security guy, to a Governor Limo driver..to 
a Party Guest, to a Who  (in Grinch) to now a Cardinal.  Let's all say it 
together That's the actor in the man.

What surprised me , however, was that I did not see brother Clint.   After 
reviewing the cast in IMDB I noticed another Howard, though..Cheryl.  The Wife 
of Ron played a scientist.  So no Clint..but Cheryl..the mother of Bryce Dallas 
Howard was in the film.

Ron Howard Film Comments

[jgrit1]

I was able to Watch Ron Howard's recent movie, The Dilemma. As Howard films go, 
I woudn't rate it as one of the best, but the appearance of his brother Clint 
and his father Rance are delightful.  Most know that Ron always tries to put 
his family memebers in his movies, and this one is no exception.  Clint plays a 
persnickity manager of a Wedding venue.  Rance plays an old man in a married 
couple celebrating 40 years of marriage.  The intersting thing is his first 
line  Where's Ronny?  He is talking about one of the main characters but one 
can't help but be taken back to the set of the Andy Griffith Show and wonder 
how many times he uttered that phrase as his budding actor son played in parts 
unknown.  

I enjoyed your story Ken.  regarding this My wife worked behind that soda 
fountain for about eight years  Did they ever let her go home? How many pickle 
sundaes did she make during that time?

Ron Howard Story

[jgrit1]

I was watching Dave Letterman last night, and his guest was Tom Hanks.  Hanks 
was promoting a current movie (Larry Crowne) but got into a discussion with 
Dave about Ron Howard, the Opie Producer that he has great respect for and has 
worked with many times.

He talked about back in the day when they were working on the movie Splash, 
when Hanks was just a budding hopeful actor but Howard was already a respected 
producer.  They were in Manhattan and it was the wee hours of the morning.  
Wanting to  get way a little bit, Howard asked Hanks it he wanted to go to 
Dunkin Donuts.  He said he knew how to get to one that was open 24 hours.  
(this whole time Hanks is impersonating Ron Howard which makes it funny).

They get to the Dunkin Donuts and despite the 24-hour advertisment, it is 
closed for cleaning for two hours.  They had walked quite a ways in the wee 
hours of the morning to get there.  Exasperated Ron says simply well that's 
disppointing

Ltterman roared with laughter as he considered how most people would have 
reacted and repeated that's disappointing .  It was a funny story but a 
testament to what a cool cucumber (no picle pun intended) our Opie turned out 
to be.  He didn't hold his breath or throw a tantrum on the floor...just..well 
that's disapointing.

What I find so refreshing is that he not only didn't get into a snit over it,

these days.  I appreciate people who keep their language clean!  Seems that's

Re: Ron Howard on The Daily Show

Thursday night's Daily Show featured a nice interview with Ron Howard  
talking about his latest movie, The Dilemma.  He actually discussed The  
Andy Griffith Show a lot, telling that often repeated story about how he came 
 up with ideas all the time and they got ignored until one was used in the 
second  episode of season 2 (Barney's Replacement), and Andy told him it 
was the  first one you had that was any...good!
 
BTW I remember Grit, the newspaper, and I actually had a guy next door to

Its a Ron Howard film, so you can probably guess who they are.

Paste this link into your browser..or (if that does not work) go to

What a great treat it is to see these familiar faces, and hear at least one of

Big Ron Howard Project

[mike]

Looks like Opie is embarking on a major project that involves an film and TV 
series.  Here's the story from the L.A. Times.

Mike Peacock
LOS ANGELES - The creations of Stephen King have been keeping people up at 
night for decades, but Ron Howard has been losing sleep lately for a different 
reason: The Oscar-winning filmmaker is becoming a bit obsessive about his plan 
to adapt King's most epic creation, The Dark Tower, as a film franchise and 
tie-in television series. 

I really can't stop thinking about it, Howard said while shaking his head. 
We've been meeting and talking, and I've been reading and researching and just 
kind of living with it. I've been constantly going through stuff, and I've just 
been relistening to it (on audio books) on my iPod, and we've been sending 
e-mails back and forth, 'What about this approach? What do you think of this 
idea?' We're finding the shape of it. We're moving quickly now, as quickly as 
we can, and I feel challenged in the most exciting ways. 

As challenges go, bringing the seven-novel Dark Tower series to the screen is 
a colossal one, but Howard's ambitions match it. The director of Apollo 13 
and The Da Vinci Code is teaming up with producer Brian Grazer and 
screenwriter Akiva Goldsman to present King's magnum opus as a feature-film 
trilogy with a tie-in television series filling in the gap between the 
blockbuster releases. 

The same creative team took home Oscars for their collaboration on A Beautiful 
Mind, and it was while working on that film that Goldsman brought Howard the 
idea of adapting the genre-mashing Dark Tower and bringing to life its 
central character, a nomadic gunslinger named Roland Deschain, who tangles with 
magic, monsters and mutants. 

We worked on it for a year before we even met with him, Howard said. It was 
all about putting something together that was good enough and getting such an 
understanding of the material that Stephen King would say, 'Yes, that's the way 
into this story.' 

The project has not been greenlighted yet, but Universal Pictures and NBC 
Universal Television Entertainment announced in September the plan to chronicle 
the story as a multimedia event. If all goes as planned, Howard will direct the 
first film and then the first season of a tie-in television series, both of 
which Goldsman will write. Two more films would follow. 

In a statement, King gushed about the endeavor: I've been waiting for the 
right team to bring the characters and stories in these books to film and TV 
viewers . . . [and] respect the origins and the characters in 'The Dark Tower' 
that fans have come to love. 

The King fantasy epic began in 1982 and has spanned seven novels - the original 
hardcover editions add up to a staggering 3,795 pages and 30 million copies 
sold - with an eighth installment, tentatively titled The Wind Through the 
Keyhole, announced by the author last year. King released an additional 
novella in 1998, and for three years King has been adding new chapters to the 
saga within the pages of Marvel Comics.

*** Article: Ron Howard Talks 50 Years of Opie ***

[Allan Newsome]

Hey Folks,

There's a very nice interview with Ron Howard about the 50th Anniversary 
of The Andy Griffith Show.


Jim Clark posted the link over at the TAGSRWC Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/tagsrwc) and thought the folks here on the 
Digest wouldn't want to miss it either.


You'll find it at the URL below ( I shortened it so it would be easier 
to copy and paste.

Small cast counts and Ron Howard

[GRITTON, JOE A (ATTOPS)]

We have an interesting discussion going on about Episodes with the
fewest actors.

Now if I put on my Andy hat, I'd say we need a common uniform score
sheet, that might be set up something like this.


Main characters,Guest stars,Speaking Background
actors, Nonspeaking background actors


A MAIN CHARACTER would like  Andy Opie..all the way through Goober
Gomer, Howard, Thelma Lou Helen.
The Book  Inside Mayberryby Harrison and Habeeb, has a good chart in
the back that you can look at to see what main characters were in which
episodes etc.
 
GUEST STARS   would be Like Ernest T Bass, Briscoe Darling,   Uncle
Ollie, Aunt Nora, John Masters, Clara  etc.

If you use the Database that Allan has on the website, you can get a
good list of the combination of Guest stars and Main characters..and
also the next category..SPEAKING BACKGROUND ACTORS.  This would be like
Tom Hamilton,  Jud, Asa,  


So for those three categories..you can get a pretty good count.

The toughest is the NONSPEAKING BACKGROUND ACTORS, therefore
non-credited background actors.  You pretty much have to watch and
count.  (Mr. Schwamp among them)

The Biggest Crowd scene I can think of, were the Gold Truck Episode, The
Baseball Game, the Seth Taylor statue Dedication, when the Governor
came, etc..and the crowd in Opie's dream when he won all those
medals..Other big crowd scenes I'm sure.

So entries should say things like 

3 main characters, no guest stars,  2 speaking background on 0
nonspeaking background

0r
 
5 main characters 2 guest stars,  no background actors at all

At least that's how I would score it.

Entertainment Magazine has the sad tale of an adult who was a child star
who had died ..and it talks about the  difficultly that Child stars
often have after growing up.Then it lists 8 child stars who made it
big as adults...#1 on the list..Ron Howard.  That's our boy!!!

Ron Howard to appear at Hollywood Show?

[Joel Rasmussen]

There's going to be a One Time Only Happy Days cast reunion at Burbank, 
California's Hollywood Show July 18  19.

Although Ron Howard is not officially listed as a guest, all the rest of the 
cast will be there and the website does say there will be a special surprise 
guest.  Will this be Ron?

At the March show, they had a Back To The Future cast reunion and the special 
surprise guest was Michael J. Fox.

Ron's dad, Rance, and brother Clint have both attended the Hollywood Show in 
the past.

Now, I'm not saying anything, but...

Re: WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 10, Issue 11 -- Subject: Ron Howard tv

[Dave Lambert]

Hi Stan,

I think I must have missed some prior postings about the Ron Howard special.  I
have Comcast cable service with ON DEMAND.  I found the special aired on
TCM is available via ON DEMAND for free for the next 3 or 4 weeks.  It was in
the free movie section.  I watched the first hour of the ~90 minute special
last night.  It's a great overview of Ron's career, and wonderful to hear his
comments about his childhood roles and many of the nearly 20 movies he's
directed.  I highly recommend it if it's available on your Comcast service.

Does anyone know if the Ron Howard special will be on again? If not did anyone
tape it and would be willing to make and copy? I would pay for the trouble.  I
did tape it but someone erased it before I could watch it. Thanks

Ron Howard on Leno

[Good, Don]

Did anyone else see Ron Howard on Leno last night (Monday 11/24)?  It
seemed to me that Jay gave Mr. Howard much more time than most
interviewees.  The best/funniest part was a clip of Ron on an episode of
the Captain and Tenille Show from the 70s.

TCM doc in Dec - RON HOWARD: 50 YEARS IN FILM

[beastooge]

Press release from Turner Classic Movies...

Oscar-Winning Filmmaker Ron Howard to Relive His Extraordinary Career in New 
TCM Original Special RON HOWARD: 50 YEARS IN FILM

Intimate, Career-Tracing Conversation to Follow in the Footsteps of Past TCM 
Specials on Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg

Film Critic and Documentarian Richard Schickel Producing Special for Debut in 
December 2008 

Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg have more in common than 
winning Academy Awards® for their work. These directors sat down for in-depth 
interviews with film critic and documentarian Richard Schickel for three 
critically acclaimed Turner Classic Movies (TCM) specials. This December, 
Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard will join that elite list in a new TCM 
original special called RON HOWARD: 50 YEARS IN FILM.

The 90-minute special will trace the actor/director’s career from a 
first-person perspective. Howard will discuss each movie he has made, from 
1977’s low-budget GRAND THEFT AUTO to major blockbusters like SPLASH, 
BACKDRAFT, APOLLO 13, THE DAVINCI CODE, PARENTHOOD, EDTV and the film that 
earned him an Oscar, A BEAUTIFUL MIND. He also will talk about his latest film, 
the eagerly anticipated FROST/NIXON, in which Frank Langella will reprise his 
Tony-winning performance as President Richard M. Nixon and Michael Sheen will 
play famed interviewer David Frost.

Howard will talk extensively about his career as a child star in such movies as 
THE MUSIC MAN and THE COURTHSHIP OF EDDIE'S FATHER and the landma
rk television series THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW. Howard, whose fame grew as when he 
starred in the movie AMERICAN GRAFFITI and the TV series HAPPY DAYS, will 
describe how these experiences influenced him as a filmmaker. The interview 
will be peppered with memorable scenes from Howard’s extensive career.

I can’t think of a more appropriate filmmaker to profile than Ron Howard. He 
has proven that high quality and enormous box office success can go 
hand-in-hand, said Tom Brown, vice president of TCM original productions. 
We’re also thrilled to be working once again with Richard Schickel on another 
insightful retrospective of one of today’s most successful filmmakers.

Just watching RH in The Courtship of Eddie's Father. If you thought he 
was good in Opie the Birdman you should see his acting in the goldfish 
scene of ...Eddie's Father. Even at aged 9 he was an excellent actor.

Ron Howard

[Anita Carpenter]

I couldn't believe my eyes as I read the paper today and saw that Ron Howard 
was here in Cincinnati yesterday!  Apparently Ron Howard, Tom Hanks and Dennis 
Miller are on a bus tour of some of the major league baseball stadiums around 
the country.
  I sure wish I had known he was going to be here, then maybe I could have 
finaggled a ticket and actually got to meet our Opie!!! (though I'm sure 
security was tight around them).   Either way I was thrillled (as the 
lady reporter said) to know that Ron Howard was only a mile away from my house. 
 
   
  lot's of luck to you and yours...

 If you want to see Ron Howard at his best, view the original movie,
 The Music Man, starring Robert Preston  Shirley Jones.



I rented that movie from Netflix last weekend. Loved it.

Bravo is honoring Ron Howard this Sat night at 9 pm.
