The 2015 film Jurassic World replaced the original core cast by focusing on new protagonists, notably Claire Dearing played by none other than Bryce Dallas Howard. It is heartwarming to see Howard’s transformation from a no-nonsense operations manager at the tragic park to a fervent advocate for dinosaur rights. With such a likeable demeanour and presence, it’s no surprise that Howard has acted in a number of critically and commercially acclaimed movies over the years.
