Ron Howard had a very interesting childhood with being Opie Taylor in a very famous TV series, The Andy Griffith Show, and then moving on to more interesting times with his debut on "Love and the Happy Days." It was a pilot episode which was then named Happy Days. On Happy Days he played Richie Cunningham. During the six years he was doing Happy Days, he married his high school sweetheart. He left Happy Days because he wanted
to pursue his dream of directing. The reason for wanting to be a director was because when acting if he didn't like the script he would have to live with it. If he was a director he could change what he didn't like. The first movie he directed was Grand Theft Auto, he also acted in this movie. As time went on he had several films that didn't go so well in the box office, so when he directed Apollo 13 he worked very hard to make it a success. He showed the world what a great director he really was.

The book "Ron Howard Child Star & Hollywood Director," on a scale of one to five is a three. The book didn't really have a captivating mood or keep your interest throughout the entire book. In my opinion it was slow and ponderous. Even in the parts that were more interesting, the author was slow to get to her point, I didn't like that about the book. What I enjoyed in the book was how his family was the number one thing in Howard's
life. The main focus of this book shows how " Ron Howard has proved that a child star can grow up to find adult happiness and success."
