Actress Bryce Dallas Howard is sharing that her father, "Happy Days" star Ron Howard, would not allow her to act as a child.
"I think if I had the chance to act younger, I would've taken it. But I wasn't allowed to," she told People magazine. Bryce had a significantly later start than her father, nabbing her first feature role in 2004 when she was in her 20s. Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
