Bryce Dallas Howard was on Busy This Week, and she shared something shocking with Busy Phillips. Believe it or not, the actress has never seen her father’s show, Happy Days.
There is no particular reason why; she just never watched it. So she has never seen Ron Howard as Richie Cunningham and her Godfather, Henry Winkler, as the Fonz. And she is not sure if they know.
Since the show is still in syndication and available to own on home video, I say it is better late than never to watch the whole series!
Oh, it is not that she doesn’t want to see her dad on the small screen. She has seen him on The Andy Griffith Show and liked the show.
Before Bryce Dallas Howard was starring in movies like Argyle, she got her start in Parenthood. How awwwdorable was the 7-year-old making her acting debut in that 1989 movie?
Back in the ’60s, Ron Howard was skipping on The Andy Griffith Show. Now that he is in his 60s, he is still skipping, but for a different reason. His granddaughter wants to do it, so he is going to do it because he says, “Experience tells me to enjoy it while it lasts!”
Howard is so right. He might be an Oscar-winning director, but he is a grandfather first. You have to cherish those special moments with the grandkids because they don’t last forever. But the memories do.
Ron Howard, Marion Ross, Henry Winkler, Anson Williams and Donny Most got together yesterday to honor their Happy Days’ TV boss the late Garry Marshall at The Garry Marshall Theatre in Burbank.
Seeing them together again, makes me wonder why they don’t get another reunion special or a revival. Let’s see what they would be like at the turn of the century. Even though Tom Bosely and Erin Moran are no longer with us, they can still make it work. Who didn’t find heir thrills with their sitcom?
