Time marches on
Yesterday was the birthday of Ron Howard, the actor-producer-screenwriter-director who played Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and sang "Gary, Indiana" in The Music Man.
Ron Howard is many years older than I am so I am less shocked than you are. Having said that, I knew him as Richie then I didn't know anything until he seemed to suddenly be a middle aged director. How did that happen?
How that happened is told in the title of the post: Time marches on. Ron Howard’s non-acting work includes Night Shift, Splash, Cocoon, Apollo 13, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, A Beautiful Mind. But to me he will always be the little boy Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show and the teenager Richie Cunningham on Happy Days. Thank you, kylie.
My kids call him Opie Cunningham. He was such a cutie when he was little.
ReplyDeleteBut we both know it was Opie Taylor and Richie Cunningham, don’t we? I still can’t get over his age. Thank you, Emma.
