We love Bryce Dallas Howard and were thrilled upon learning she’d be in town again! We loved her being horrible and nasty in The Help and 50/50 most. Although Howard really has taken her time focusing on building a quality Résumé as an Actress, while balancing parenthood, things really are taking-off quickly for the daughter of beloved Ron Howard.
While she’s been here for TIFF in the past, she now is here to promote upcoming 3-D Remake, PETE’S DRAGON from Disney. She was last seen in record-breaking Blockbuster JURASSIC WORLD and will be seen again in its 2018 Follow-up.
Howard had a full day of press lined-up starting early at KISS 92.5, heading over to CITY‘s Breakfast Television and later Bell Media for The Social and eTalk. Despite being in a bit of a rush, the low-key star made sure to snap a Selfie and sign Autographs for all her Fans. Class Act. And this is why we love her.
