Gallery: The Help Cast Before They Were Stars!
From relative newcomers to storied veterans, the ensemble (mostly female) cast of The Help has it all. Based on the best-selling novel by Kathryn Stockett, the film follows the story of Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan as she returns home to Mississippi and brings upheaval to her society friends’ lives as she reveals the secret stories of the help.

Bryce Dallas Howard as Hilly Holbrook in The Help
Daughter of Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, Bryce Dallas Howard grew up away from the harsh lights of Hollywood, but that hasn’t stopped her from making a name for herself. She got her start in several New York plays, including Tartuffe and As You Like It, before garnering the attention of M. Night Shyamalan, who cast her without an audition in his movie The Villiage. In The Help, she portrays Hilly Holbrook, the overly snooty ringleader of their town’s segregation efforts.
