How “The Boys” Ron & Clint Howard Survived Child Stardom

We turn to two Hollywood brothers who made their names in some of America's best-loved family classics. Ron and Clint Howard were the child stars of hit shows like "Happy Days" and "Gentle Ben." You might not know Clint as well as Ron, but both had successful performing careers. Despite that, it's their decades of brotherhood that they've chosen to celebrate in their new joint memoir "The Boys."
