R.&#039;s Piece" data-source="post: 317300" data-attributes="member: 12">When announcing Ken Howard’s departure it was stated he  had signed to host a weekly beauty pageant, as well as going to teach at a drama school and work in theatre with his mentor, Robert Brustein.  It was stated in news pieces at the time  that he was taking a break from showbusiness.  He himself said that when he told his mother that he was leaving Dynasty/The Colbys for the American Repertory Theater,  she said, "Isn't that delightful dear, but perhaps you could talk to the producers.  Maybe you could go into a coma.”  He also later described working on both shows as being like factory jobs. He talked of having to get it done in a couple of takes and thinking about what is the simplest way to get this done.  Sometimes at the cost of the creative process.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1987/3/18/ken-howard-leaving-hollywood-for-harvard/[/URL]</blockquote>
