I 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 I was the first runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant. After participating in the pageant, I became a model. It eventually led to my first weekly TV series, 1989's "Living Dolls" (1989), where I soon gained a reputation for her on set tenacity, preferring to "live" my roles and remaining in character even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off though when I reportedly refused to bathe for several days before starting work on my role as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991) because the role provided my big screen breakthrough. The following year, I 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, I gained a youthful following for my performance as sexy secretary Sharon Stone in The Flintstones (1994). I next had a highly publicized costarring role with Jessica Lange in the adoption drama Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie received mixed reviews, I didn't let that slow me down, and continued down my path to superstardom. In 1998, I received critical success when I starred as a street smart young woman who takes up with a struggling politician in Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1998). The following year I won even greater acclaim for her role as actress Dorothy Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999) (TV), for which I won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In 2000, I received box office success in X-Men (2000) in which I played Storm, a mutant who has the ability to control the weather.I also played in the movie Catwoman(2004)
