UPDATED: 3/11/2021 Ron Howard, former child star and famous filmmaker, is stuck in most people's imagination as a child or teenager, but he's actually 64 years old. He rose to fame as Opie Taylor in The Andy Griffith Show and went on to play Richie Cunningham in Happy Days. Throughout the years, he also starred in a number of movies, but eventually he left the spotlight to focus on directing. Some of his top directing credits include Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code, Frost/Nixon, and Solo: A Star Wars Story (which is coming out this May).
