FAMOUS SIBLINGS (continued):

• New Jersey brothers Paul, Joe, and Nicholas Jonas have sold upwards of 17 million records. Formed in 2005, they are the youngest band to be featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. • Baby boomers will remember the character of Opie Taylor on “The Andy Griffith Show,” a role that Ron Howard played for eight years. The Oklahoma-born Howard appeared in his first movie at 18 months, but had his first credited role at age 4. As a teenager, he began a six-year stint as Richie Cunningham on the popular sitcom “Happy Days.” At age 25, he left the series to focus on a career as a director. His many successful films include Cocoon, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, The Da Vinci Code and Frost/Nixon. Ron Howard has cast his younger brother Clint in 16 of the films he has directed. Clint was also a child star, appearing in the 1960s series “Gentle Ben” as the son of a Florida Everglades game warden who kept a bear as a pet. Ron is worth a little more than his brother -- $140 million to Clint’s $20 million. • There were more sets of siblings competing in the 2014 Winter Olympics than any other. Seven sets of siblings on Team USA competed either as teammates or as rivals, along with Ukraine’s female twins, three sisters from Switzerland, another three sisters from Canada, and two brothers from Norway. Two of the three Canadian sisters took gold and silver in the moguls event. In the men’s double luge event, two Austrian brothers won the silver medal, while two Latvian brothers took the Bronze. Dutch twin brothers won gold and bronze in the men’s 500-meter speedskating race. Over the years, there have been 19 families who have had three or more siblings compete at the Winter Olympics. The record is held by the Spanish Fernandez Ochoa family, who had three brothers and two sisters competing.
