Ronald Howard, born in 1924 in London, carved a niche in cult cinema with his performances in films like The Naked Edge (1961) and The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964). Following a career that began in British B movies, he transitioned to notable roles in the 1970s, including The Hunting Party (1971) and Take a Hard Ride (1975).
