Ron Howard was born Ronald William Howard in Duncan, Oklahoma in 1954. His parents were both actors who had had minor success, and Ronny first appeared in a movie at 18 months of age! He got regular roles starting at 4, and when he was six he was cast as Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show, and he stayed with that classic role until 1968. Afterwards he mostly did TV appearances, and one of them was on Love, American Style, in a segment called "Love and the Happy Days", and in it Ronny played Richie Cunningham, and Marion Ross played his mom, but Harold Gould played his dad. In 1973, Ronny played one of the lead roles in George Lucas' masterpiece, American Graffiti. The following year, Garry Marshall, who had written the above 1972 Love, American Style segment, rounded up the same cast (except for Gould, who was replaced by Tom Bosley, and he added a minor character Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli [who would later virtually take over the show]), and that became the hit show Happy Days. While he was starring in that show, Howard (who had wanted to make his own movies since he was young) directed and starred in Eat My Dust (now "Ron") and Grand Theft Auto, and also had a major role in John Wayne's last movie, The Shootist. In 1982, as Happy Days was winding down, Howard directed the well received comedy Night Shift, which starred Henry Winkler, but it was unknown Michael Keaton who was most noticed. Two years later, when he left Happy Days, Howard directed Splash and the following year Cocoon, and he was one of America's most successful directors. He has since directed 18 more movies, among them Parenthood, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, and Frost/Nixon. But for all his great success as a director, for most older Americans he will always first and foremost be Opie Taylor or Ritchie Cunningham! AND Clint Howard is an actor from the 1960s to present. Some of his movies include: Apollo 13, the Austin Powers trilogy, and Cinderella Man. He also appeared on TV's "Star Trek", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", and "Enterprise" (all as different characters). He is the brother of actor/director Ron Howard, who casts him in all of his movies (and he was "Leon", the little boy who offered everyone a bite of his sandwich on his brother's TV show "The Andy Griffith Show").

Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Ron Howard AND Clint Howard!

Note that this autographed item (and many others in this set of auctions, all of which have this same paragraph on them) come from the collection of a man who recently passed away. He was confined to a wheelchair, but that did not stop him from attending all of the major collectible shows in the Northeast, including the Chiller Conventions! He would obtain many signed items from the celebrities in attendance (they sometimes personalized the autographs to him, and his name was "Jimmy"), and he also purchased a few signed items from celebrities through the mail. In the case of the items purchased through the mail, he would usually also get a "certificate of authenticity". Our consignor (and we) believe that all of the signed items from this collection have authentic signatures.
