The Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the oldest theatrical organization in the United States, announces celebrated actress, producer, and director BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD as the recipient of its 2019 Woman of the Year Award. The Pudding is excited to honor an accomplished actress who has given such a wide range of critically acclaimed performances, and is committed to expanding the role of women in every aspect of storytelling.


The Woman of the Year Award is the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ oldest honor, bestowed annually on performers who have made lasting and impressive contributions to the world of entertainment. Established in 1951, the Woman of the Year Award has been given to many notable and talented entertainers including Ella Fitzgerald, Meryl Streep, Whoopi Goldberg, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Kerry Washington, Octavia Spencer, and most recently Mila Kunis, the 67th Woman of the Year.


The Woman of the Year festivities, presented by RELATED, Equinox, and MAC Cosmetics, will begin at 3:00pm on January 31st, 2019, when Ms. Howard will lead a parade through the streets of Cambridge. Following the parade, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals will host a celebratory roast for Ms. Howard at 4:00pm, after which she will be presented with her Pudding Pot at Farkas Hall, the Hasty Pudding’s historic home in Harvard Square since 1888. A press conference will follow the presentation at 4:30pm. Afterwards, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals will preview their 171st production France France Revolution, the historic first featuring a cast of both men and women.


“We are thrilled to honor Bryce Dallas Howard as our 68th Woman of the Year and for her to witness the groundbreaking first performance with our wonderful cast, featuring six talented Harvard women,” said co-producer Elizabeth Mann. “In addition to being fans of Bryce’s work in TV and film, we admire her efforts to forge new pathways for female artists and creatives in Hollywood. Our entire company can’t wait to celebrate her, as long as she leaves the velociraptors from Jurassic World at home!” added Mariana Sanchez-Medina, the Pudding’s other co-producer.


BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD continues to be a versatile and dynamic talent, both on-screen and behind the camera. Howard will next be seen in Paramount’s ROCKETMAN, produced by Matthew Vaughn with Elton John and David Furnish, the biopic about the musical legend is set for release on May 31, 2019.
