Bryce Dallas
Howard (born March 2, 1981) is an American actress known
for her roles in the M. Night Shyamalan-directed films
The Village and Lady in the Water, and for her role as
Gwen Stacy in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3.
Early life: Conceived in Dallas, Texas – the
source of her middle name – Howard was born in Los
Angeles, California, the daughter of Hollywood
actor-director Ron Howard and writer Cheryl Alley. Her
paternal grandfather is actor Rance Howard and her uncle
is actor Clint Howard, while her godfather is actor
Henry Winkler, who co-starred on Happy Days (1974) with
her father.
Howard and her younger sisters, twins Jocelyn and Paige,
and their younger brother, Reed, were raised away from
the world of showbusiness. Their parents didn't allow
them access to television and instead encouraged
reading, outside play, and hobbies. Nevertheless, all
four Howard children can be seen as extras in some of
their father's films, such as in 1999's EDtv.
She grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, where she
graduated from Greenwich Country Day School in 1996.
When she was in ninth grade at Greenwich Country Day
School, she performed as Miss Adelaide in the musical
Guys and Dolls, and in a variety show with her own
unique version of Leiber and Stoller's "I Am A
Woman." She later attended Byram Hills High School
in Armonk, New York, where she performed in a number of
shows on their stage, and graduated in 1999.
Howard also attended Stagedoor Manor, a performing arts
camp in upstate New York, with one of her good friends,
actress Natalie Portman. After graduating from high
school, Howard studied at New York University's Tisch
School of the Arts for three years, during which time
she also attended the Stella Adler Conservatory, The
Experimental Wing, and International Theatre Wing in
Amsterdam. She graduated with her BFA in Drama in 2003.
Howard is also an alumna of the Steppenwolf Theatre
Company in Chicago and The Actors Center in New York
City.
Career: Howard appeared in several of her
father's films as an extra before her feature film début
came in director Alan Brown's 2004 drama, Book of Love.
She also appeared in numerous productions on the New
York stage, but her breakthrough role came in M. Night
Shyamalan's The Village, which she was cast in without
having to audition after Shyamalan saw her in a Broadway
show. Following that, Howard was cast by Lars Von Trier
to replace Nicole Kidman as Grace in Manderlay (2005).
Howard collaborated again with Shyamalan in the 2006
release Lady in the Water, in which she plays Story, a
type of water nymph called a "narf."
She recently completed filming Spider-Man 3, the third
installment of the Spider-Man film series starring Tobey
Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, in which she portrays Peter
Parker's new love interest Gwen Stacy. Howard dyed her
naturally red hair blonde for the role (while the
naturally blonde Dunst's hair is dyed red for the role
of Mary Jane Watson). Howard was pregnant during the
time of production for Spider-Man 3, and thus had to
wear thick clothing to cover up her burgeoning belly.
Next up for Howard is the lead in The Loss of a Teardrop
Diamond, co-starring Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and
David Strathairn. She is set to play Fisher Willow, a
rebellious socialite desperate to leave her world of
social conventions.
Howard wrote and directed a short film, Orchids,
starring Alfred Molina as part of Glamour magazine's
"Reel Moments" series funded by Cartier and
FilmAid.
Personal life: On June 17, 2006, she married
actor Seth Gabel (born October 3, 1981 in Hollywood,
Florida), whom she had met at New York University and
dated for five years. They currently live in Hollywood.
Howard and Gabel welcomed their first child, a son named
Theodore Norman Howard Gabel, nicknamed Theo, on
February 16, 2007. In May, Howard introduced her son by
sharing a photo of him on The Tonight Show with Jay
Leno.
Until recently, Howard had been a devoted vegan since
Joaquin Phoenix, her The Village co-star, showed her a
documentary on animal cruelty called Earthlings, for
which he had provided the narration at the request of
Nation Earth. However, in August of 2006, Howard
announced that she had switched her diet from vegan to
vegetarian in order to help her boost her amino acid
levels in preparation for pregnancy.
Howard's favorite book is The Things They Carried by Tim
O'Brien and she enjoys playing basketball, cycling,
hiking and writing.
