Biography
Halle Berry was born on August 14, 1968 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 would eventually lead to her first weekly TV series,
1989's "Living Dolls" (1989), where she soon gained a reputation for her
onset 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)_ (qv), one of the few times that Murphy
was evenly matched on screen. continue

In 1994, Berry gained a youthful following for her performance
as sexy secretary Sharon Stone in Flintstones, The (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
