Trivia
RON HOWARD
Howard was the son of Jean Speegle Howard, an actress, and Rance Howard, a director, writer, and actor. Ron Howard graduated from John Burroughs High School, and later attended the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts but did not graduate.
Ron Howard made a notable guest-star appearance on the popular television series M*A*S*H during that show's first season as an underage American serving in the Marines during the Korean War. In 1976, Howard was offered the role of Gillom Rogers in the movie “The Shootist”, starring opposite Hollywood legend John Wayne. At the time, Howard had no idea that this would be the last pairing of the two, as Wayne would die three years later of cancer; in fact, Howard is often quoted as saying: "About a couple of months after filming wrapped on The Shootist, Duke called me up and said, 'I found a good script, kid . . . it's you and me, or it's nobody.'" As a token of respect, during the beginning of "The Shootist," Howard lent his voice to the beginning montage, which shows Wayne in various clips from his career.
