Halle Berry
Halle Berry Biography:
Halle Berry, who was born in Cleveland, Ohio, on August 14, 1966, began her career in beauty pageants, winning the Miss Teen All-American Pageant in 1986. She went on to modeling, and then turned to television work in "Living Dolls" and "Knots Landing."
Spike Lee cast her in her first movie role in Jungle Fever (1991), and she's been working steadily ever since, alternating light-hearted fare such as The Flintstones (1994) with serious roles such as a crack-addicted young mother in Losing Isaiah (1995).
The made-for-cable film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge won Berry an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award in 1999. One of her greatest triumphs has been her heartbreaking performance in Monster's Ball (2001), which made her the first African-American actress to win a Best Actress Academy Award.
