He is mar- ried to Ruth Evelyn Martin and has two children, s son Rommid and a daughter named Leslie Jr. after her father. His principal recreation is riding and his hobby is amateur pho- tcgraphy. Howard's most attractive stage and screen characterization is that of the smouth, suave, sophisti- cated lover.
