On March 1, 1954 in Duncan, Oklahoma, Ronald Howard, a future Hollywood legend was born.
Howard was only 18 months old when he appeared in his first film, Frontier Woman, and when he was two, he made his stage debut in The Seven Year Itch.

In this time, when the little boy played Opie, the son Griffith’s character, Howard had the full support of his parents, who were both in the entertainment industry.
