#23 Ben ate the kid seen in the photo (Clint Howard). He wasn’t so Gentle after all.
The parents were notified and agreed to adopt a kid that looked like him as they had a successful tv series going on and the studio wanted to keep things quiet.
The brother Ron Howard never noticed he had a step brother as he was away doing the Andy Griffith show and when he came home just thought Clint had a growth spurt.
Beside Ron never really like Clint.....
