Ron Howard's Daughter's 'Challenging' Nude Scene
The Left Coast ^ | Jan 23rd,2006

Posted on 01/24/2006 11:10:46 AM PST by laney

What's up with Opie?

Ron Howard is currently busy directing what may arguably end up being the most serious attack on Christianity ever to emerge from Hollywood - the film version of "The Da Vinci Code" novel.

Opus Dei, a Catholic group featured in the book, is asking that the movie be given an adult rating because children should be protected from prevarication about Catholicism.

Meanwhile Ron's daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, will appear in an explicit sex scene in the new Lars von Trier film called "Manderlay."

Bryce got her breakthrough in Hollywood the old-fashioned way - through nepotism. She appeared in her daddy's flicks.

In "Manderlay," the second film in an anti-American and anti-female trilogy by Danish director von Trier, Bryce plays the same character portrayed by Nicole Kidman in the first installment, "Dogville."

The New York Post asked Bryce about the impact of her first nude scene on her parents.

"They're really proud," she said. "In particular, my dad was really impressed with what Lars did cinematically. Of course, it's a little challenging to see their daughter go through what I went through. But they get it. They know I'm an actor," she added.

The Left Coast Report wishes Aunt Bea were around to dress down the whole family.

Not that I like Anti-American movies, but nude scenes are always okay.

The sort-of-clothed Ms. Howard.

You know people are going to start posting Helen Thomas pics now to challenge your statement. So don't say you haven't been warned! ;o)

Here's a different pic of her ... could there be any possible question about her paternity?

That may be, but having seen her in The Village, I know that she is a very good actress, in addition to being *hot*.

The Da Vinci code is not an assault on Christianity. It is a novel.

Many feel children should be protected from prevarication by Catholicism. Who decides? I doubt Pope Benedict is too worried about the film.

I saw that-she's very talented. It's too bad about the nude scene, though.

Not nice. I think she is very pretty.
Ron Howard is a truly odd looking man and so very talented.

The Village was an awful movie, but she was good.
