Ron Howard is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.
Popular actor-director Ron Howard (Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, Happy Days, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Howard, a cultural icon
Born Ron William Howard in Duncan on March 1, 1954, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Howard's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ron hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ron Howard as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.
Happy Birthday, Ron, you're the best!
