Ron Howard
Jul 2, 202665mOscar-winning director Ron Howard tells host Ben Mankiewicz that he feared being "branded" a supernatural comedy director following the success of "Splash" and "Cocoon." After tapping guidance from his "Happy Days" boss, Garry Marshall, and insight from Frank Capra's biography, Howard set forth to explore the medium of film in all its genres as a director. He tells Ben about being mesmerized by "Bonnie and Clyde" and "The Graduate" and learning how to work with stars when acting in "The Shootist" with John Wayne directed by Don Siegel. Ron Howard's Super 8 answers run the gamut from nods to "Project Hail Mary." and "Eastern Promises," to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," and "Blazing Saddles."
