Hallie Meyers-Shyer (born July 26, 1987) is an American actress and filmmaker. The daughter of filmmakers Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers, she had small roles in several of her parents' films. She made her filmmaking debut in 2017 as the writer and director of the romantic comedy film Home Again.
Early life
Meyers-Shyer was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of filmmakers Nancy Meyers and Charles Shyer. She has an older sister, Annie.[1] Meyers-Shyer is Jewish.[2][3] She attended Crossroads School and later enrolled at the University of Southern California to study screenwriting, but transferred to The New School, where she graduated with a degree in literature.[1]
Career
Meyers-Shyer began her career appearing in small roles in six of her parents' films: Father of the Bride (1991), I Love Trouble (1994), Father of the Bride Part II (1995), The Parent Trap (1998), What Women Want (2000), and The Affair of the Necklace (2001). The lead characters in The Parent Trap were named after Meyers-Shyer and her sister, Annie Meyers-Shyer.
In 2012, it was announced that Meyers-Shyer's script The Chelsea would be made into a film starring Felicity Jones and directed by Nancy Meyers.[4] In 2017, Meyers said her daughter's project ran into casting problems, and Meyers-Shyer "just moved on from it."[5]
In 2017, she made her filmmaking debut as the writer and director of the romantic comedy film Home Again. The film starred Reese Witherspoon as a 40-year-old single mother who allows three young aspiring filmmakers (Pico Alexander, Nat Wolff, and Jon Rudnitsky) to live with her in her Los Angeles home. Candice Bergen and Michael Sheen also appeared in the film. It was released on September 8, 2017, by Open Road Films, and grossed $37 million worldwide.[6][7]
