À propos de cet audio
An AudioFile Best Audiobook of 2021
Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award: "This audiobook is simply a delight...a must-listen."
“This extraordinary book is not only a chronicle of Ron’s and Clint’s early careers and their wild adventures, but also a primer on so many topics - how an actor prepares, how to survive as a kid working in Hollywood, and how to be the best parents in the world! The Boys will surprise every reader with its humanity.” (Tom Hanks)
"I have read dozens of Hollywood memoirs. But The Boys stands alone. A delightful, warm, and fascinating story of a good life in show business.” (Malcolm Gladwell)
Happy Days, The Andy Griffith Show, Gentle Ben - these shows captivated millions of TV viewers in the ’60s and ’70s. Join award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard and audience-favorite actor Clint Howard as they frankly and fondly share their unusual family story of navigating and surviving life as sibling child actors.
“What was it like to grow up on TV?” Ron Howard has been asked this question throughout his adult life. in The Boys, he and his younger brother, Clint, examine their childhoods in detail for the first time. For Ron, playing Opie on The Andy Griffith Show and Richie Cunningham on Happy Days offered fame, joy, and opportunity - but also invited stress and bullying. For Clint, a fast start on such programs as Gentle Ben and Star Trek petered out in adolescence, with some tough consequences and lessons.
With the perspective of time and success - Ron as a filmmaker, producer, and Hollywood A-lister, Clint as a busy character actor - the Howard brothers delve deep into an upbringing that seemed normal to them yet was anything but. Their Midwestern parents, 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.

If it weren’t for Emma Johnson, Caryn Johnson would have never become Whoopi Goldberg. Emma gave her children the loving care and wisdom they needed to succeed in life, always encouraging them to be true to themselves. When Whoopi lost her mother in 2010—and then her older brother, Clyde, five years later—she felt deeply alone; the only people who truly knew her were gone. Emma raised her children not just to survive, but to thrive. In this intimate and heartfelt memoir, Whoopi shares many of the deeply personal stories of their lives together for the first time.

The award-winning film biographer presents a deeply-textured, ambitious, and definitive portrait of the greatest movie actor of the 20th century, the elusive Marlon Brando, bringing his extraordinarily complex life into view as never before. The most influential movie actor of his era, Marlon Brando changed the way other actors perceived their craft. His approach was natural, honest, and deeply personal, resulting in performances - most notably in A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront - that are without parallel.

Twenty-five years after the end of the war, Noah Ainsworth is still preoccupied with those perilous, exhilarating years as a British SOE operative in France. A head injury sustained on his final operation has caused frustrating gaps in his memory—in particular about the agent who saved his life during that mission gone wrong, whose real name he never knew, nor whether she even survived the war.

Some years ago a stash of family records was handed down to Michael Palin, among which were photos of an enigmatic young man in army uniform, as well as photos of the same young man as a teenager looking uncomfortable at family gatherings. This, Michael learned, was his Great-Uncle Harry, born in 1884, died in 1916. He had previously had no idea that he had a Great-Uncle Harry, much less that his life was cut short at the age of 32 when he was killed in the Battle of the Somme. The discovery both shocked him and made him want to know much more.

Excellent and refreshing!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book together! It was fun to re live so many movies and tv shows and hear the inside stories. Mostly through its all about the great depth of family love.
My only knock it's that whoever did the sound levels blew it. it seems it should have been easy to bring Clint's quieter voice up to the level of Ron's so we didn't have to continually change the volume ourselves! It took away from the pleasure of listening to it.

Wonderful Memoir
I couldn't stop listening! This was one of the warmest, most heartfelt memoirs that I have read. Such a wonderful thing to have both of the boys sharing their own stories, or memories of the same one. The family dynamic really shone through, the love was apparent.
I am old enough to remember Mayberry and Gentle Ben, so their journey brought back lovely memories from my childhood, but even if you are too young to remember those days, this is still worth the listen. Ron and Clint's lives have been rich.
I would highly recommend this listen.

Ron & Clint come from such a loving, caring and supportive family & I enjoyed hearing of such a family. They are great story tellers and it was awesome to hear them narrate. I felt like they were telling me personally, if their stories.

Anyone with a family should listen to this book
Ron and Clint did such a wonderful job recalling and sharing these funny and poignant stories of their family's life in the public view.
They both have had struggles and successes but most of all have such moving stories of how family kept stepping up for each other.
I will definitely listen to this book again.

Co author Collaboration
Liked the co author approach and now I'm prompted to find their acting and directorial works including Rance and Jean's. An authentic loving homage to these men's parents. Refreshing!

An Insightful Look At A Hollywood Family
Ron and Clint Howard’s collaboration is remarkable. They
tell of their parent’s sacrifices of their careers so that their sons are careers become successful. Their parent’s keep the boys grounded and humble.
This book shows the love and sometimes rivals of the two boys. Ron and Clint are champions for each other and share an amazing bond. They also have deep respect and love for their father’s guidance.
This is a wonderful look at the lives of two of Hollywood’s most beloved children and characters in our childhood programs. I definitely recommend this book to anyone that loved The Andy Griffith Show. Gentle Ben, Happy Days and many memories from Disney movies to any Ron Howard production.
