Trivia: Born in 1954, RON HOWARD's first acting job was appearing on the stage with his parents in a production of The Seven Year Itch. Most of us got to know him as the little boy Opie on TV's Andy Griffith Show and later as teen Richie Cunningham on TV's Happy Days, which was a modified version of his role in the 1973 film American Graffiti. His screen debut was in 1959's The Journey, followed by the role of the lisping-singing kid in 1962's The Music Man. He appeared with his brother Clint in 1976's Eat My Dust.
In 1978, Howard finally got a chance from Roger Corman to direct Grand Theft Auto, and two years later directed the formidable Bette Davis in the TV-movie Skyward. 1982's Night Shift was his first big success, followed by Splash (1984 starring Tom Hanks); Cocoon (1985 with Don Ameche); Parenthood (1989 starred Steve Martin); Backdraft (1991 with Kurt Russell); Far and Away (1992 starring Tom Cruise); The Paper (1994 with Michael Keaton); Apollo 13 (1995 again with Hanks); Ransom (1996 starring Mel Gibson); and as mentioned many times in this episode, Willow (1988 starring Val Kilmer).
Make-up man WALLY WESTMORE comes from a large family of many make-up artists who worked in the movie business. (For details, see the Trivia Section in 614-SAN FRANCISCO INTERNATIONAL, which contains info on his brother BUD WESTMORE and the whole Westmore clan). Wally helped made actors look good in movies like War of the Worlds; Double Indemnity; Sunset Boulevard; and 906-THE SPACE CHILDREN.
See something familiar in those exterior shots? No wonder...some of those houses were also used for TV's Bewitched and I Dream of Jeannie.
