RON HOWARD: FROM MAYBERRY TO THE MOON AND BEYOND by BEVERLY GRAY
|
SummaryRon Howard: From Mayberry to the Moon... and Beyond, the
first full-length biography of Ron Howard, takes an in-
depth look at the Oklahoma boy who gained national fame as
a child star, then grew up to be one of Hollywood's most
admired directors. Although many show biz kids founder as
they approach adulthood, Ron Howard had the advantage of
brains, common sense, and two down-to-earth parents who
kept him from having an inflated view of his own
accomplishments. He also had a longstanding goal: to trade
the glare of the spotlight for a quieter but equally
creative life behind the camera. This biography tracks his
career from 1960, when he debuted as six-year-old Opie
Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show through 2002, when he
accepted his Academy AwardŽ as Best Director for A
Beautiful Mind. Author Beverly Gray, an entertainment industry veteran, has
spoken to teachers, friends, and professional colleagues
from all phases of Howard's career. She has also combed the
archives to gain further insight into this very private man
whose accomplishments have brought pleasure to so many. Genre: Biography
