Biography

Early life

Conceived in Dallas, Texas – the source of her middle name – Howard was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Cheryl (née Alley), a writer, and Hollywood actor-director Ron Howard. Her paternal grandparents were actors Jean Speegle Howard and Rance Howard and her uncle is actor Clint Howard; 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 was reared 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.http://www.theatermitu.org/company/bhoward.html] During her schooling, Bryce took part in the concept recording of the Broadway-bound musical, "A Tale of Two Cities". [http://www.ataleof2cities.com/biographies.cfm?action=1&type=performer&id=4 Tale of Two Cities - Biography ] ] She graduated with her BFA in Drama in 2003. Howard is also an alumna of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company's prestigious School at Steppenwolf in Chicago, and of The Actors Center in New York City.

Career

She appeared in several of her father's (Ron Howard) 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). She 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".

In 2006, she starred as Rosalind in Kenneth Branagh's film version of Shakespeare's "As You Like It", opposite David Oyelowo as Orlando. The film played theatres in Europe, but went directly to cable in the United States. Ms. Howard was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for her performance.

In May 2007, she appeared as Peter Parker's new love interest Gwen Stacy in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3" starring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. She 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 beat out Elisha Cuthbert and Sienna Miller for the part.fact|date=July 2008

She will play the lead role in her upcoming film, "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond", co-starring Chris Evans, Ellen Burstyn and David Strathairn. She landed the role after Lindsay Lohan dropped out.

She also plays the role of Kate Connor in the 2009 movie "Terminator Salvation".
