Where has the time gone? Ron Howard, who played Opie Taylor many years ago on The Andy Griffith Show, is going to be gradfather. Ron's daughter Bryce Dallas Howard announced last night at the British premiere of her latest movie Lady in the Water that she was expecting her first child with husband Seth Gabel.

Bryce will next be seen later this year in the Shakespeare adaptation As You Like It and will be hard to miss in next year's blockbuster-to-be Spider-Man 3.
