Here’s a link to a May interview with Jim<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jim also performed with the Hawaii Symphony Orchestra in a special July Fourth concert. (See photo.)<\/p>\n Ron Howard<\/strong> has completed filming in England for the Formula 1 racing movie Rush, <\/em>his latest film as director.\u00a0 Ron is fun to follow on Twitter (@RealRonHoward).\u00a0 He tweeted a lot during the production of Rush<\/em>. The film is currently set for release on Sept. 20, 2013.<\/p>\n Ron Howard visits with NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Brad Keselowski prior to the race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Ron drove the pace car for this summer’s Curtiss Shaver 400 at the Brickyard.<\/p><\/div>\n Ron also is partnering with Canon USA for a second year in a photo contest.\u00a0 The theme of this year’s contest is Long Live Imagination. Learn more about “Project Imaginat10<\/em>n” at YouTube.com\/Imagination<\/a>.<\/p>\n The TV production arm of Ron’s Imagine Entertainment was involved in the summer reality show “The Great Escape” for TNT. And it’s\u00a0 producing “How to Live with Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life” for ABC this fall, as well as another season of “Parenthood” for NBC. Ron also directed the filming of a documentary of Jay-Z’s Budweiser Made in America music festival in Philadelphia over Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n Signs are strengthening again for Ron’s ambitious production of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower<\/em>.\u00a0 Russell Crowe’s name keeps popping up, and the script is said to be progressing well.<\/p>\n Ron Howard, Jason Bateman and Mitchell Hurwitz in a tweeted photo by Ron from the “Arrested Development” set.<\/p><\/div>\n Meanwhile, Ron is executive producer and narrator and is also acting on camera (!) for the resurrection of “Arrested Development” for Netflix and eventually, possibly on the big screen.<\/p>\n Ron also is developing Conquest<\/em>, a drama about the Spanish conquering the Aztecs for Showtime. He likely will direct that project.\u00a0 And his Imagine Entertainment is developing a feature film on soccer great Pel\u00e9 for release in 2014.\u00a0 And you never know…Ron may have another trick or two up his sleeve.<\/p>\n Clint Howard<\/strong> has several acting projects in various stages of production.\u00a0 Keep an eye out for his diabolical Amdro Ant Block commercial.\u00a0 (If you don’t catch it on TV, it’s on YouTube.)<\/p>\n Rance Howard<\/strong> plays a train engineer in The Lone Ranger<\/em>, which has wrapped filming and is scheduled for release the week of the Fourth of July 2013.\u00a0 He’s in several other movies that are about to start production. And he was in an April “Grey’s Anatomy” episode.\u00a0 He and Clint also recently filmed an episode of Showtime’s “Huff.” And be sure not to miss Rance’s special story, exclusive to The eBullet<\/em>, in a feature we call “At a Glance With Rance”<\/strong> later in this issue.<\/p>\n Betty Lynn<\/strong> continues to greet fans monthly at the Andy Griffith Museum (including Sept. 21), and is eager to welcome thousands of fans back to Mount Airy for Mayberry Days later this month. Maggie Peterson<\/strong> is doing several Mayberry events this year with TV brother Rodney Dillard<\/strong>, and she performs regularly at the world famous Bootlegger Bistro in Las Vegas with husband Gus Mancuso.<\/p>\n Dean Webb<\/strong> is featured in a nice profile by Bill Graham\u00a0 in the Mandolin Caf\u00e9 blog<\/a>.

Photo by Jan Newsome.<\/p><\/div>\n And the big news is that Return of the Killer Shrews<\/em> (starring James and produced by James and wife Dorothy) gnawed its way across the red carpet for its world premiere fundraiser in Bristol, Va., on July 27. Here’s the link to the Killer Shrews<\/em> website<\/a>…if you dare go there!<\/p>\n Amid work on her memoir, Margaret Kerry<\/strong> (two characters in two episodes) spoke about her Disney experiences at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in July. And she has appeared recently at some Disney and animation conventions.<\/p>\n Ronnie Schell<\/strong> performed at Harvey’s Improv Room in Lake Tahoe this summer, and he will be performing in Las Vegas in November.<\/p>\n Howard Morris<\/strong>‘ <\/strong>son, David, has his www.ErnestT.com<\/a> website up and rockin’ again with some new stuff.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n We’re sad to report that we lost two Mayberry alums and character-actor legends on the same day, July 27.<\/p>\n Norm Alden<\/p><\/div>\n Norman Alden<\/strong>, who played Tom Strongbow in “The Battle of Mayberry,” Episode 188, and Mt. Pilot bowling team leader Hank in “Howard the Bowler,” Episode 221, died in Los Angeles on July 27.<\/p>\n He performed in well over 2,000 television episodes, movies and commercials, usually as heavies, tough guys and no-nonsense officials. His roles ranged from years as the voice of the animated Aquaman in the 1970s to mechanic Lou in a long-running series of commercials for AC Delco.<\/p>\n Born Norman Adelberg on September 13, 1924, in Fort Worth, Tex., he studied theater at Texas Christian University and worked as a radio disc jockey after military service during World War II.\u00a0 He moved to New York, where he won “Arthur Godfrey Talent Scouts,” and then headed to Hollywood. He got his start in film on “The Bob Cummings Show” in 1957. Among his hundreds of TV roles were appearances on “Rango,” “The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp,” “Hogan’s Heroes,” “Batman,” “My Three Sons,” “Gunsmoke,” “My Favorite Martian,” “The Big Valley,” “The Rockford Files,” “The Streets of San Francisco,” “Adam-12,” “Dynasty,” “The A-Team,”\u00a0 “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” “Charlie’s Angels” “Murder, She Wrote” “Hill Street Blues” and “JAG.”<\/p>\n In movies, he was the voice of Sir Kay in Disney’s The Sword in the Stone<\/em> (1963), was “Horrible” Hank Hopkins <\/strong>Kansas City Bomber<\/em>\u00a0(1972) with Raquel Welch and performed in Tora! Tora! Tora!<\/em> (1970)<\/em><\/em>, Semi-Tough (1977), Back to the Future<\/em> (1985), Ed Wood<\/em> (1994), Patch Adams<\/em> (1998) and K-Pax<\/em> (2001), among many others.\u00a0 Perhaps his most notable role was starring as Andy Chadakis in Andy<\/em> (1965).<\/p>\n Survivors include his children Brent and Ashley, his grandson Zooey and his longtime life partner, Linda Thieben.<\/p>\n A celebration of Norm Alden’s life is being held in Los Angeles this month and in Fort Worth in September. Donations in his name be made to TCU’s drama department, the department of cardiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles or the Frostig Center in Pasadena.<\/p>\n Robert Golden Armstrong Jr. was born on April 7, 1917, in Birmingham, Ala. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he met Andy Griffith.\u00a0 They performed together in the Carolina Playmakers campus theater group and also in the outdoor drama The Lost Colony<\/em>.\u00a0 Andy’s starring role in Egypt Land<\/em>, a play Bob wrote as his Master’s thesis at UNC, was a crucial factor in Andy’s keen interest in acting.<\/p>\n Bob moved to New York to study with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in the mid-1950s. He was quickly noticed by Elia Kazan and landed the role of Dr. Baugh in the original production of Tennessee Williams’s Cat on a Hot Tin Roof<\/em> in 1955.\u00a0 (It was Bob who recommended Andy Griffith to Kazan for role of Larry “Lonesome” Rhodes in A Face in the Crowd<\/em>.) Other Broadway productions followed for Bob, including Orpheus Descending<\/em> and The Miracle Worker<\/em>.<\/p>\n Once Bob made the move to Hollywood, he became in great demand as an actor, particularly in Westerns and especially in films by writer-director Sam Peckinpah, including Ride the High Country<\/em> (1962),\u00a0 Major Dundee<\/em> (1965) and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid<\/em> (1973).<\/p>\n Old friends on location for “Matlock” in Manteo, N.C.<\/p><\/div>\n Bob’s work in television was even more extensive than his work on stage and in movies.\u00a0 An especially fun TV appearance was a two-part episode of “Matlock” in 1989 called “The Hunting Party.” Bob played Sheriff Dalton Parks.\u00a0 The episode was filmed on Roanoke Island, where he and Andy Griffith had worked together in The Lost Colony<\/em> in the late ’40s.<\/p>\n R.G. Armstrong is survived by four daughters, a son and five grandchildren.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n \u00a0 Douglas Dillard Legacy Fund <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Charles Dowell <\/strong> Charles Dowell at the Snappy Lunch grill during Mayberry Days 1996.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n Our great friend and Snappy Lunch owner Charles Dowell passed away September 4 after a long illness. He was 84.<\/p>\n Charles Dowell with 1999 Mayberry Days Pork Chop Sandwich Eating Champion Mark Gigliotti.<\/p><\/div>\n Humble, hard-working, friendly to everyone, Charles had folks lined up down the street as much for his welcoming grin as his world-famous pork chop sandwich. He genuinely loved people and had a passion for cooking and for running Snappy Lunch. He started working at Snappy Lunch in 1943, became part owner in 1951 and sole owner in 1960.<\/p>\n Most Mayberry fans first heard of Snappy Lunch when Andy talks to Barney about it in “Andy the Matchmaker,” which first aired in 1960 and is the only TAGS episode in which Snappy Lunch is mentioned. That mention might’ve been our reason to visit Snappy Lunch the first time, but it was the great food and service and friendly folks, starting with Charles, that have kept us coming back time after time over the years.<\/p>\n Our hearts go out to wife Mary, daughter Jamie, and all of Charles’ family and the Snappy staff.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n We’re pleased to welcome five new chapters since the last issue of The eBullet<\/em>:<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u00a0“During rehearsal, Sheldon Leonard, who was directing the episode, asked Andy what he thought of the name. Andy said, ‘Well, it don’t just tear me up.’ Sheldon asked him, ‘Would you like to try some other name?’ Andy allowed as how he would. So the producers and writers got together, and finally somebody came up with Andy Taylor, and Andy said, ‘Yeah, Andy Taylor. I like that.’ So that’s how Andy Taylor came to be.<\/p>\n
