50/50

BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD (Rachael) has quickly become one of Hollywood's most versatile and dynamic young talents both on screen and behind the camera. The actress will next be seen as the villainous ‘Hilly' in Tate Taylor's big screen adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's bestselling novel The Help this August. In September, Summit's dark comedy 50/50 hits theaters with Bryce playing the role of "Rachael” opposite Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. She was most recently seen in Clint Eastwood's Hereafter and THE The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Bryce's other film credits include The Loss of A Teardrop Diamond; McG's Terminator Salvation; Sam Raimi's Spider Man 3; M. Night Shyamalan's Lady In The Water; and Lars von Trier's Manderlay. Bryce made her film debut in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village opposite Adrien Brody, Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver. She also received a 2008 Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Rosalind in HBO's adaptation of Shakespeare's As You Like It, written and directed by Kenneth Branagh.

Expanding her creative reach beyond acting, Howard produced Gus Van Sant's Restless, which was accepted into competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The film, which stars upand- coming stars Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper, is slated for a September release through specialty film branch Sony Pictures Classics. She has also written her first feature film screenplay titled "The Originals” which is currently in development. Howard made her 2006 directorial debut with the short film Orchids.

In 2010, Bryce signed on as the first-ever celebrity face of luxury designer Kate Spade. She starred in the brand's Spring/Summer 2011 advertising campaign shot by famed fashion photographer Norman Jean Roy. She will return as the face of the designer's Fall/Winter collection for new ads scheduled to run beginning this September.

After leaving the Tisch School of the Arts program at New York University, Howard immediately began working on the New York stage, including playing the role of ‘Marianne' in the Roundabout's Broadway production of "Tartuffe”, ‘Rosalind' in the Public Theatre's "As You Like It”, 'Sally Platt' in the Manhattan Theater Club's production of Alan Ayckbourn's "House/Garden” and as 'Emily' in the Bay Street Theater Festival production of "Our Town.”

Bryce currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, Seth Gabel, and their son, Theo.
