RON HOWARD & CLINT HOWARD - THE BOYS: A MEMOIR OF HOLLYWOOD AND FAMILY (2021 Unabridged Audiobook) Ron Howard, Clint Howard, Bryce Dallas Howard

In The Boys, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and his brother, actor Clint Howard, offer an extraordinary dual memoir that explores their lives growing up in Hollywood and the family values that kept them grounded.

Narrated with warmth and honesty, this audiobook is a heartfelt journey through fame, family, and the enduring bond between brothers.

From their early days as child actors—Ron as the beloved Opie Taylor on The Andy Griffith Show and later Richie Cunningham on Happy Days, and Clint as Mark on Gentle Ben and appearing in countless TV shows and films—the Howards recount the joys and challenges of navigating life in the spotlight.

They share stories about their Midwestern parents, whose wisdom and sacrifice helped them maintain a sense of normalcy despite the pressures of show business.

Rance and Jean moved to California to pursue their own showbiz dreams. But it was their young sons who found steady employment as actors. Rance put aside his ego and ambition to become Ron and Clint's teacher, sage, and moral compass. Jean became their loving protector--sometimes over-protector--from the snares and traps of Hollywood.

By turns confessional, nostalgic, heartwarming, and harrowing, The Boys is a dual narrative that lifts the lid on the Howard brothers' closely held lives. It's the journey of a tight four-person family unit that held fast in an unforgiving business and of two brothers who survived "child-actor syndrome" to become fulfilled adults."

Filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes, touching family memories, and insights into their paths as artists, The Boys is more than a Hollywood memoir; it’s a tribute to love, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family.

Whether you're a fan of their work or drawn to tales of determination and heart, this audiobook is an inspiring and entertaining listen.
