Halle Berry

Berry moves to New York to pursue a career in modeling and acting. Her mother refuses to send her money, Berry experiences financial hardship and briefly lives in a homeless shelter. Berry:

A girl had to do what a girl had to do. You can do that when you’re 21 and ambitious, and your eyes are this big and you don’t want to go home.

Berry is diagnosed with type-1 diabetes after she falls into a coma while filming a television sitcom.

One day, I simply passed out, and I didn’t wake up for seven days, which is obviously very serious.

Berry plays Nisi in the movie B.A.P.S. Nisi is asked to act as granddaughter for one week of Mr. Blakemore. While working for Mr. Blakemore, Nisi and her best friend Mickey are taught how to act like ladies. While working one day, Nisi’s ex boyfriend comes back into the picture asking for a second chance. Nisi fulfills her dream to open her own hair salon with the money she mad working for Mr. Blakemore and gives her boyfriend another chance.  Co-starring Natalie Desselle, Martin Landau, and Troy Beyer.

I have such high hopes for this movie. It seems like a good idea.

Berry plays a black woman in who falls for a prison guard after the execution of her husband. Co-staring Heath Ledger, Billy Bob Thornton, and Peter Boyle. Thornton:

The Monster’s Ball scene is a whole movie in itself. I get a little turned off when people say, “Hey, man, how about that Halle Berry!

Berry is featured in People’s 50 Most Beautiful People list. People Magazine:

Her talent is equal to her beauty.

Berry plays Catwoman alongside Benjamin Bratt, Sharron Stone and Lambert Wilson. Berry is a hyper-sexualized thief with the abilities of a Cat. She uses her newfound life, aggression, and powers to take down the firm and seek revenge.

Because this movie is about women. It’s for women essentially, you know? It’s about a woman finding her sense of self, her inner strength, her power, becoming okay with her sexuality. I think every woman, deep down, would love to feel the way Catwoman gets to feel in this movie. I think we are always searching to be our true, authentic selves and not make excuses or apologies for that and Catwoman does not.

Berry plays Storm in another X-Men, The Last Stand movie co-starring Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Anna Paquin, and Kelsey Grammar. The plot revolves around a mutant cure that causes serious repercussions among mutants and humans, and on the resurrection of Jean Grey.

Well I think I felt a great responsibility to myself to have Storm evolve. The day after the second movie opened, I remember I ran into some fans and they practically accosted me on the street and were angry that Storm didn’t step up and she’d somehow diddled into the background.
