The girls' parents worked in a psychiatric clinic. Judith Ann Hawkins, Holly's mother, worked as a nurse. Jerome Jesse Berry, the father of the future Hollywood star, was a driver. They divorced when Holly was 4 years old, and Heidi - 6. More about the girl's father was not heard. The upbringing of the daughters fell entirely on the shoulders of the mother.

When Halle Berry started school, she first faced the problem of racism. Until the 3rd grade, she attended an educational institution in an area where blacks lived. The white Judith Ann Hawkins was looked at with bewilderment. At school, the kids thought Holly had been adopted. When the family moved to the outskirts, where mostly "whites" lived, the dark-skinned Holly became uncomfortable.

Halle Berry was so inspired by her brilliant results in modeling that she decided to pursue a career as a model and left college. An obstacle on the path of the beauty to the heights of the fashion industry was a short height of 166 cm, but a way out was found. Berry has appeared in TV commercials where growth is less important. Soon the young model was noticed by agents of the cosmetic brand Revlon, offering to sign a lucrative contract.

Halle Berry often appears on the screen and becomes recognizable. But she wants more than advertise beautiful things and expensive cosmetics. The girl dreams of movie roles. She goes to auditions and interviews. The results appear immediately: Berry is offered to appear in the TV series "Living Dolls". It is noteworthy that the not very popular series nevertheless gave the actress the opportunity to loudly declare herself.

Soon Halle Berry gets the role of a drug addicted girl in the movie "Jungle Fever". To better get used to the image, Holly communicates with real drug addicts for a while. The actress is so included in the role of the heroine Vivian that even the director of the film Spike Lee is amazed at her efforts.

Halle Berry's stellar cinematic biography begins with the role in Jungle Fever. This picture becomes a breakthrough in the career of a young actress. Now she has it all: fame, fans and offers from famous directors.

Soon, the artist appears in the comedy film Boomerang, where she co-stars with Eddie Murphy. This is followed by the action-packed "The Last Boy Scout" paired with Bruce Willis and the melodrama "Only Business", after which the army of fans of the black star doubled.

The young artist tries to choose diverse paintings, not being limited to one role. The actress convincingly performed roles in the comedy Desperate Daddy and the drama The Isaiah Case. Holly shines in the series "Queen" and "Frazier", amazes with her performance in the tape "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba."

Critics vying with each other praise Berry in their reviews for excellence in the film by Warren Beatty "Bulward", released in screens in 1998. Here she plays a young provincial activist who inspires an elderly and tired politician to great things.

In the same 1998, the actress appeared in the biographical film "Why do fools fall in love." The following year, Halle Berry receives several prestigious awards, including an Emmy and a Golden Globe, for her work in Meet Dorothy Dandridge. The storyline of this film follows the first African-American woman to win an Oscar.

The role turns out to be prophetic - Berry also deserves prestigious awards. In 2002, the star was nominated for an Oscar, this time for her participation in the film Monster Ball, where her partner is Billy Bob Thornton. The actress plays the wife of an executed murderer. In addition to the Oscars, Holly's awards also include awards from the US National Council of Film Critics and the Screen Actors Guild.

In the same years, such titles as the thriller The Password Swordfish Password, the thriller about the 007 agent “Die, but Not Now” appeared in the artist's filmography. In these projects, Holly appears accompanied by stars of the first magnitude - John Travolta and Pierce Brosnan.

The audience also remembered the collaboration of Halle Berry with Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin and James Marsden in the science fiction film X-Men. After the release of this popular action movie based on the comic book series, 3 sequels of the tape appeared, released in 2003, 2006 and 2014.

In the same period, the thriller "Gothic" was released, after which Berry appeared in a video directed by the group Limp Bizkit. The fans liked the video, which became the soundtrack to the thriller, many said that the actress should try her hand at music and perform her songs. The shooting of "Gothic" was fraught with difficulties for Halle Berry, who broke her arm in the process. The actress was forced to restore her health for 2 months.

The project that brought Halle Berry the largest fee in her career - $ 12.5 million, is an action movie called Catwoman. The picture brings huge profits to its creators and actors, but the "fly in the ointment" in this "barrel of honey" for the film actress was the anti-award "Golden Raspberry". Nevertheless, Halle Berry holds the blow with dignity and becomes the second actress in history, after Sandra Bullock, who came personally for the "prize".

Another project in which the African American star is involved is Oprah Winfrey's film Their Eyes Were Watching God. Berry played here a free from prejudice and strong woman who, in the 1920s, managed to declare her non-traditional orientation, without fear of condemnation from her contemporaries. This role brought Holly another Emmy.

The most striking of Halle Berry's recent projects are called Who Is Doris Payne? and “What We Lost”. Today, the black actress from Ohio is one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood. Her royalties for participation in the film reach $ 10 million. In April 2007, Halle Berry had her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2010, a woman was included in the list of "Most Beautiful Celebrities" for the 14th time.

Holly's first husband was baseball player David Justice. The couple legalized the relationship in 1993. But this union lasted only 2 years. The official divorce was filed a year after the actual one.

In 2001, the actress marries musician Eric Bene. But this marriage did not last long either: the couple broke up at the very beginning of 2005. Halle Berry's personal life improved in the same year. The star began dating Canadian model Gabriel Aubrey. The couple met during one of the photo sessions. They got married the same year. In 2008, Holly and Gabriel had a daughter, Nala Ariela. After another 2 years, the marriage collapsed.

Changes in Halle Berry's personal life began in 2010, when the film "Dark Tide" was filmed. The actress met her colleague on the set Olivier Martinez. Holly and Olivier were married in the summer of 2013. In the fall, they had a son, Maceo Robert.

In October 2015, it becomes known that the 2-year marriage of the actors has come to an end. The couple broke up. As it turned out, they had been living separately for several months, the separation was peaceful.

In 2017, the actress briefly dated Alex Da Kid. The boyfriend turned out to be 15 years younger than the chosen one. The novel did not receive a continuation, and already at the beginning of 2018, the young man began to be noticed in the company of another lover.

Holly is ranked among the most beautiful women on the planet every year, but the Hollywood star has flaws. It is known that the actress has 6 toes on her right foot. Doctors call this anomaly polydactyly, claiming that one child in 5,000 is born with a similar defect. As a rule, in such cases, immediately after birth, the sixth phalanx is surgically removed, but Holly's parents decided not to do this.

Berry is known as a big fan of short hair. Her beauty experiments began in her youth, and her hairstyle with bangs falling over one eye has become a hallmark. The actress also does not miss the opportunity to appear in public with long hair.

In 2017, American tabloids suggested that the celebrity was pregnant, and her position betrayed a rounded belly. At the same time, most of the fans said that the actress simply gained a lot (Holly's weight is 55 kg). The reason for such messages was a photo in a tight silver dress, in which Halle Berry appeared at 10 Chrysalis Butterfly Ball. The star did not ignore the fact that the outfit clearly emphasized the figure. She commented on these pictures on the Instagram network.

In addition, the TMZ publication, citing inside information, reported that people from her environment did not confirm rumors about the pregnancy of a Hollywood movie star.

The following year, the situation changed, as evidenced by the pictures of Holly in a swimsuit. Appearing in front of Instagram subscribers in a black bikini with golden details, Berry amazed them with her slimness and youthfulness. And at the NAACP Image Award ceremony, which took place in Pasadena, California, the performer shocked the audience by appearing in a transparent dress.

The loud premiere of 2019 with the participation of Halle Berry was the third part of the action franchise "John Wick". The actress introduced the main antagonist of the hero Keanu Reeves in the project. In order to match her image, the artist spent a lot of time in the gym before filming.

Holly also mastered the technique of hand-to-hand combat and learned how to handle a gun. The preparation process was not without injuries: during the practice of the trick, Berry broke 3 ribs. But even after that, she did not stop training. According to Berry, most of all she was worried about working together with main partner Keanu Reeves, as she was afraid not to match his level. But everything went smoothly on the set.

Now Holly has made her debut in a new capacity for herself - she began work on an MMA-drama, which received the working title Bruised. Berry will also play the main role in this project - a female fighter who was forced to leave her son for a career. The film will feature Basil Ivanik and Linda Gottlieb.
