short biography
Bryce Dallas Howard was born in 1981 (March 2) into a very interesting family: writer Cheryl Alley and Hollywood director and actor Ron Howard. Let us note that the passion for cinema and acting is clearly in her blood. Her uncle Clint Howard and grandfather Rance Howard are actors, as is her godfather Henry Winkler. The girl was born in Los Angeles (California), however, according to her parents, she was conceived in Dallas, for which she received her middle name. Bryce is the eldest child in the family; she has younger twin sisters Paige and Jocelyn, as well as a brother, Reed. The Howards raised all their children away from the set and television.
In 1996, Bryce graduated from Greenwich Country Day School in Greenwich, Connecticut. At school, she took part in various productions, including the musical “Guys and Dolls” and “I Am Woman.” She continued her education at Biram Hills High School in Armonk, graduating in 1999. In addition, Bryce Dallas Howard attended a performing arts camp with her close friend, Natalie Portman. And so that she would not be perceived as the daughter of a famous director, the girl studied under the name Bryce Dallas. She then studied for three years at New York University, while attending the Stella Adler Conservatory. In 2003 she received a bachelor's degree. During her studies, she actively took part in Broadway productions by B. Shaw, A. Chekhov, and W. Shakespeare.
Childhood
Bryce Howard was born in sunny Los Angeles and grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut. The girl’s fate was predetermined: her father is world-class director Ron Howard (creator of A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code), and her mother is writer and actress Cheryl Howard. However, the parents tried to ensure that the girl and her sisters and brother spent their childhood away from show business. Bryce went to an ordinary school in Greenwich under the name Bryce Dallas, so that she would not be perceived only as Howard's daughter.

Personal life of Bryce Dallas Howard
The actress is a supporter of existentialism - a special direction in the philosophy of the twentieth century, which emphasizes the uniqueness of human existence, declaring it irrational. “I found out about him during my senior year of high school and thought, ‘That’s her! This is my religion." I had never felt connected to any religion before. It’s very simple – you are responsible for the choices you make,” admits the actress.
She met her future husband, Seth Gable, at New York University. The couple dated for five years before they got married in 2006. And on February 16, 2007, their first child was born - son Theodore. In 2012, their second child was born - daughter Beatrice. The family now lives in Hollywood.

Actress Bryce Dallas Howard
The most important films in his career were “Apollo 13,” “A Beautiful Mind,” and “The Da Vinci Code.” Her mother is writer Cheryl Alley. Her grandparents are also stars of considerable magnitude - Gene Speegle and Rance Howard.
Bryce's parents had their first child, so they had no other choice but to take her with them to film sets all the time. Her younger twin sisters Jocelyn and Paige and brother Reed, their parents, taught by bitter experience, tried to raise them differently, not allowing them into show business.
Bryce Dallas Howard as a child
So, back in her school years, Bryce decided to become an actress. In 9th grade, she played Adelaide in the musical Guys and Dolls. The girl studied under the name Bryce Dallas so that she would not be associated with her famous father.
In 1999, she graduated from New York High School, and at the same time attended a specialized arts camp with her friend Natalie Portman. Howard graduated from Tisch School of the Arts in New York in 2003. Afterwards she studied dramatic art in the studio of Stella Adler and the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago. And since 2000, the young actress has taken an active part in Broadway productions.
Film career
As an extra, Bryce began appearing in her father’s films and others as a child, along with her sisters and brother (“Parenthood,” “Apollo 13,” “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”). He made his debut in 2004 in Alan Brown's drama film Grey's Anatomy. During this period, she continued her activities on Broadway. During one of the shows, M. Night Shyamalan (writer and director) noticed her and invited her to his film “The Secret Forest”, approving her for the role without an audition. This was the actress’s first serious role (still from the film in the photo).
Her luck did not end there, and in 2005, Lar von Trier, one of the main provocateurs in Hollywood, invited the girl to his second film in the trilogy “USA - the Land of Opportunity” - “Manderlay”. This happened after Nicole Kidman turned down the role. In 2006, Shyamalan invited Bryce Dallas Howard to the film “The Girl in the Water,” in which she played a water nymph.
In 2007, the actress appeared in the box-office science fiction film, the third part of the famous Spider-Man trilogy. In it, she played the role of the main character’s new girlfriend, the charming Gwen Stacy. It’s a paradox, but the naturally red-haired actress had to become blonde for the role. At the same time, natural blonde Kirsten Dunst, on the contrary, dyed her hair bright red to participate in the trilogy. In addition to Howard, S. Miller and E. Cuthbert were also considered for the role.
That same year, Howard starred in the romantic drama The Lost Diamond, replacing Lindsay Lohan, and directed her own short film, Orchids. In 2009, the actress was lucky enough to work with Joseph McGinty Nichol. She played Kate Connor in the continuation of the cult action film: “Terminator: May the Savior Come.”
In the filmography of Bryce Dallas Howard there is one interesting character role - Mrs. Hilly Holbrook. In 2010, Tate Taylor took on the film adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's novel The Help. He invited Bryce to play one of the roles - a capricious and bitchy public figure. The film was very warmly received by critics, who also noted Howard's brilliant performance in their reviews.
In 2020, the actress took part in three high-profile projects at once: the fantasy film Pete's Dragon, S. Gahan's drama Gold, and the British anthology television series Black Mirror.

Participation in "Twilight"
Bryce did not find herself in this popular youth project from the very beginning. She was invited to the cast of the third part - “Twilight. Saga. Eclipse” - instead of Rachel Lefevre, who did not get along with the management and left the project. Bryce was immediately interested in the role of the vengeful vampire Victoria, so she agreed without hesitation.
“I think the Twilight Saga is a real phenomenon. It's great that the filmmakers are capturing the story as Stephenie Meyer created it. Realizing the responsibility I had, I read all the books. I wanted to create my character the way she is described in the books, and I did my best to achieve this,” Howard said in an interview. The actress also emphasized that she worked in a very friendly team. Despite the fact that the film grossed almost $700 million at the box office, reviews from critics were very mixed. However, Howard's performance was rated very highly.
"Jurassic World"
In 2020, Howard starred opposite Chris Pratt in Jurassic World, playing the park's chief administrator Claire Dearing. The film was very successful, grossing over $1.672 billion at the box office, making it the fifth highest-grossing film of all time. In their reviews, critics praised the acting, repeatedly emphasizing that there was a special “chemistry” between Pratt and Howard on screen.
Viewers had the opportunity to once again enjoy this acting duet in 2020: on May 22, the sequel to the film, Jurassic World 2, will be released on big screens.
