The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family is Clint and Ron’s memoir where they fondly and frankly share their unusual family tale of surviving and navigating life as sibling child actors.
Ron’s been asked what it’s like to have grown up on TV. He and Clint examine their childhoods in detail for the very first time. Ron played Richie Cunningham on Happy Days and Opie on Andy Griffith Show, and it offered him joy, fame, and opportunity, however it also invited bully and stress. For Clint, a fast start on Gentle Ben and Star Trek petered out during adolescence, but with some tough lessons and consequences.
With the perspective that success and time provides, Ron as a Hollywood A-lister, filmmaker, and producer, and Clint as a busy character actor, these brothers dive deep into an upbringing which appeared normal to them but was anything but. Their Midwestern parents, Jean and Rance had moved to California in order to pursue showbiz dreams of their own. However it was their young sons that found steady employment as actors. Rance set his ambition and ego aside so he could become their sage, teacher, and moral compass. Jean became their loving protector, sometimes their over-protector, from all the traps and snares of Hollywood.
At times this is heartwarming, nostalgic, confessional, and harrowing, this is a dual narrative which lifts the lid on their closely held lives. This is the journey of a tight 4 person family unit which held fast in quite an unforgiving business and about 2 brothers that survived ‘child actor syndrome’ in order to become fulfilled adults.
