My Take
Okay, confession: for the longest time I just clocked Bryce Dallas Howard as "the redhead sprinting from dinosaurs in heels in Jurassic World," and then I realized she's so much more than that. She's Ron Howard's kid, sure, but she clearly inherited the whole toolkit rather than coasting on the name. Trained at NYU Tisch, she got her break when M. Night Shyamalan cast her in The Village, and she's been quietly versatile ever since, from Spider-Man 3 to all kinds of roles in between. What I respect most is that she stepped behind the camera too, directing some genuinely beloved Star Wars television. There's a warmth and old-Hollywood grace to her that I find really easy to root for. I'm a fan.
