Bryce Dallas Howard feels extremely protective of her family, and for good reason.
The Jurassic Park star said in an interview with People magazine on Friday that she withdrew after having her oldest son, now 17, because of events in her childhood.
I also grew up in a situation where there were some real security [concerns] and thats scary as a parent, she said. Dallas Howard is the daughter of the famous Happy Days actor and director Ron Howard.
Growing up, we had some security issues. It was super scary, she told the outlet. And we had to leave our house, and there were, you know, incidents that were just totally, totally terrifying.
I think the scariest part for me was that I, because I was the oldest child, I was aware something was going on, she said. And it was like, Why cant I call my friends? And, you know, they dont want to explain to me because [our] frickin phones are tapped, trying to find where we are?

The director explained that the family found out about the phone tapping from police, and the FBI later became involved.
There were vehicles observed in our area that very well fit the description of some of the people they thought might be involved, he said of the threats. We just picked up the family and left.
Howard explained that it wasnt clear what the criminal objectives were, but it was not good.
He said, It was very traumatic, but thank god no crimes were committed. But just the pressure of anticipating that possibility, I found fascinating.
