ⓘ About Melodie Johnson Howe

Melodie Johnson-Howe is an American writer and a former actress. She was born in Los Angeles, California, on October 23, 1943. There she grew up with all of the sunshine and palm trees. She always thought that she would be a writer, but it turns out that life had other plans once Hollywood discovered Melodie. She was just 21 years old when she conducted a screen test for Universal Studios. She had never acted professionally, but that month, she was able to score a seven-year contract. It was that same month that she got married to record producer Bones Howe, who had three small kids. They got married on March 27, 1965. She says that when you are 21, you can ‘do anything’.
