Rance Howard was serving three years in the United States Air Force at the time of Ron's birth.〔Gray, (pp. 7–8 ).〕 The family moved to Hollywood in 1958, the year before the birth of his younger brother, Clint Howard. They rented a house on the block south of the Desilu Studios, where ''The Andy Griffith Show'' would later be filmed. They lived in Hollywood for at least three years, before moving to Burbank. Howard was tutored at Desilu Studios in his younger years, and graduated from John Burroughs High School. He later attended the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts but did not graduate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notable Alumni )〕 Howard has said he knew from a young age he might want to go into directing thanks to his early experience as an actor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ron Howard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
