Father/Daughter

Bryce would love to work with her dad Ron Howard.  I think that would be cool to see.
Bryce Dallas Howard: 'I'm Desperate for My Dad to Direct Me'
Bryce Dallas Howard, whose father happens to be Oscar-winning directer Ron Howard, is making a bit of film history herself as she gives life to Fisher Willow, a new Tennessee Williams character, in The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.

Parade.com's Jeanne Wolf found out why Bryce felt a common bond with the enduring women that the legendary playwright has brought to the big screen.
 
Tennessee's family.
"There are elements of all the female characters that Tennessee wrote in the character I play. All the women he created could probably be in the same family. I always kind of pictured Fisher Willow as, basically, Blanche Dubois 15 years earlier, when she still had a chance. Tennessee Williams said about A Street Car Named Desire, 'It's a plea for the understanding of the delicate people,' and that's something that's really true for this character as well because, as hard and honest as she is, she's also very, very delicate."

She's not the woman she plays.
"She doesn't have a politically correct bone in her body. She's totally unapologetic and that was why I wasn't initially able to connect with her. I'm entirely apologetic, and I'm a total people-pleaser and I just say 'sorry' for everything, whether it was my fault or not. I guess what motivated her was not ever needing other people to be happy. But it is kind of freeing because you can sort of say what's on your mind without any filter."
 
Bringing her son to the set.
"He was there the whole time because he was an infant. We filmed only a couple of months after he was born. But when I was doing Terminator Salvation, I found out later that I'd actually been in my first days of pregnancy during all those action scenes. That freaked me out a little bit. But that was his first visit to a set, inside my tummy."

Getting a little help from her dad.
"I've never worked with him before. I've always wanted to work with him and never imagined that it would be in this capacity. He was great about supporting me as a producer. It's a script that one of my best friends from college wrote, she's a first time script writer and to get my dad to sign on was the boost we needed."
  
No. 1 on her wish list of directors.
"I'm desperate for my dad to direct me. If there is ever a moment that he would hint at the fact that he wanted to, that he thought I was right for something, I would audition like crazy and work really hard and, you know, we would see the proof would be in the pudding, but it hasn't happened yet."

Directing his grandson.
"He made a little movie together with his grandson the other day. It was adorable, it was really cute. It was a little bit of both. It was Theo running around asking people to play with him, and everyone was quite busy and then, eventually, he asked my mom -- and, you know, he was kind of down-trodden at that point -- and my mom said, 'Hey, Theo. Do you want to play with me?' And he was like, 'Yeah,' and then they played. So that was the movie. It was epic. A little comedy, a little tragedy."
 
Stepping into Twilight.
"I'm a huge fan of the books. I thought the first film was exquisite and I think they're doing a really great job at translating what Stephanie Myers created to the screen. I'm there to do my best and, hopefully, it measures up. My nightmare would be to undermine the incredible work that had come before."
