Actor Born: April 7, 1918 in Norwood, England Death: December 19, 1996 in London, England Biography:Son of British actor "Leslie Howard", "Ronald Howard" chose to become a newspaper reporter upon graduation from England's Jesus College. But acting seemed a more glamorous and less demanding profession, so Ronald followed his father's career course: Regional theatre, London stage, films. He was pleasant but unremarkable in his first film, "When the Sun Shines" (1946); this assessment could well describe the rest of Howard's career. Boyishly handsome even in middle age and blessed with a mellow voice, Howard nevertheless seemed a bit too sedate to become a full-fledged star. While he made numerous film appearances, the latter-day reputation of "Ronald Howard" rests on his 39-week stint in 1954 as The Great Detective in the Franco-English TV series "Sherlock Holmes". "Basil Rathbone" he wasn't, but Howard strove to please - and succeeded. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
