-- Memoir of Hollywood and family[2021]., William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers Call No: MEMOIR NF HOW Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Location(s) Summary Note: "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. [This book] 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"--Provided by publisher.
