Description:
Halle Berry was born on August 14, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio,
USA to African American father Jerome Berry, a former hospital attendant, and
Caucasian mother Judith Berry, a retired psychiatric nurse. Halle also has an
older sister named Heidi. Halle first came into the spotlight at 17 years old
when she won the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, representing the state of Ohio
in 1985 and a year later in 1986 when she was the first runner-up in the Miss
USA Pageant. After participating in the pageant, Halle became a model. It eventually
led to her first weekly TV series, 1989's "Living Dolls" (1989), where she soon
gained a reputation for her on set tenacity, preferring to "live" her roles
and remaining in character even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off
though when she reportedly refused to bathe for several days before starting
work on her role as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991) because
the role provided her big screen breakthrough. The following year, she was cast
as Eddie Murphy's love interest in Boomerang (1992), one of the few times that
Murphy was evenly matched on screen. In 1994, Berry gained a youthful following
for her performance as sexy secretary Sharon Stone in The Flintstones (1994).
She next had a highly publicized costarring role with Jessica Lange in the adoption
drama Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie received mixed reviews, Berry didn't
let that slow her down, and continued down her path to superstardom. In 1998,
she received critical success when she starred as a street smart young woman
who takes up with a struggling politician in Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1998).
The following year she won even greater acclaim for her role as actress Dorothy
Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999) (TV), for
which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In
2000, she received box office success in X-Men (2000) in which she played Storm,
a mutant who has the ability to control the weather.
