On Ford's 80th birthday, Howard sent his former "Dad" in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" a telegram, explaining that he was directing the movie and that Gibson was playing Ford's part.
Today, despite the Hollywood power that comes from being the co-founder and co-chairman (with Brian Grazer) of Imagine Films Entertainment Inc., Howard remains as approachable and down to earth as it gets in the off-center, egocentric world of movies.
That's why audiences might find his latest film even more violent and terrifying than it really is. If Howard's "Parenthood" was a valentine to parents, then "Ransom" is a parent's ultimate horror film.

By the time she made her motion-picture debut at age nine, in the family film Napoleon and Samantha, Foster was already a seasoned veteran, having made numerous guest appearances on TV shows like Mayberry RFD, The Courtship of Eddie's Father, and The Partridge Family.
The child who began her professional career as the Coppertone girl — the toddler whose backside is exposed by a feisty dog in advertisements for suntan lotion — is now taking mother roles.

 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
While MGM's first attempts at TV programming were inauspicious (''M-G-M Parade''), later shows (such as ''The Thin Man'', ''The Courtship of Eddie's Father'', both based on movies, and especially ''CHiPs'') performed better.
Lyonnais was unable to stem the tide of red ink during the mid-1990s (despite a few critical and commercial successes), and sold the studio back to Kerkorian (as part of a group composed of his Tracinda company and the Australian Seven Network) in 1996.
Many of these musicals were successes, but by 1948, the studio was being hit by cost overruns (stemming from the huge budgets given to every picture, even the lackluster ones), and the mismanagement was causing a noticeable drop in quality.

 VH1.com : Movies : Person : Rance Howard : Biography
While Rance certainly did not rely on Ron's fame alone to get work (he remained a busy stage actor), it is true that Ron recommended his dad for supporting roles in such films as The Music Man (1962) and The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963), both of which featured the younger Howard.
Those cynics who believe that Rance Howard forced his son into acting in order to create a meal ticket are referred to a well-known anecdote concerning the earliest years of the Griffith program.
When child star Ronny Howard became A-list film director Ron Howard in the '80s he continued casting both dad Rance and younger brother Clint Howard in Splash (1984) and other films.
