Duncan, Oklahoma, USA:
Ronald William Howard (nato il 1° marzo 1954) è un regista e attore americano. È diventato famoso come attore bambino, apparendo come guest star in diverse serie televisive, incluso un episodio di Ai confini della realtà. Howard ha attirato l'attenzione nazionale per aver interpretato il giovane Opie Taylor, figlio dello sceriffo Andy Taylor (interpretato da Andy Griffith) nella sitcom The Andy Griffith Show dal 1960 al 1968. In questo periodo apparve anche nel film musicale The Music Man (1962), un successo di critica e commerciale. Fu accreditato come Ronny Howard nelle sue apparizioni cinematografiche e televisive dal 1959 al 1973. Howard fu scelta per uno dei ruoli principali nel film di formazione American Graffiti (1973), che ricevette ampi consensi e divenne uno dei film più redditizi della storia. L'anno successivo, Howard divenne un nome noto per aver interpretato Richie Cunningham nella sitcom Happy Days, ruolo che avrebbe interpretato dal 1974 al 1984. Howard continuò a apparire in film in questo periodo, come il western The Shootist (1976) e la commedia Grand Theft Auto (1977), che segnò anch'esso il suo debutto alla regia. Nel 1984, Howard lasciò Happy Days per concentrarsi sulla regia, produzione e occasionalmente scrittura di film di varietà e serie televisive. I suoi film includono la fantascienza/fantasy Cocoon (1985), la fantasy Willow (1988), il thriller Backdraft (1991), il docudrama storico Apollo 13 (1995), la commedia natalizia How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), il dramma biografico A Beautiful Mind (2001), il dramma sportivo biografico Cinderella Man (2005), il thriller Il codice Da Vinci (2006), il dramma storico Frost/Nixon (2008), Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) e il documentario Pavarotti (2019). Per A Beautiful Mind, Howard ha vinto l'Oscar come miglior regista e l'Oscar come miglior film. Fu nuovamente nominato per gli stessi premi per Frost/Nixon. Nel 2003, Howard ha ricevuto la National Medal of Arts. È stato inserito nella Television Hall of Fame nel 2013. Howard ha due stelle sulla Hollywood Walk of Fame per i suoi contributi nelle industrie televisive e cinematografiche.
