Overview

Hally Berry is much more than just another gorgeous face in Hollywood, although she’s certainly got the beauty pageant background to prove that she’s got that part down. The longtime Revlon spokesperson is also an extremely talented actress who has proven herself across multiple genres.

She’s just a comfortable slinking out of the sea in a barely-there bikini for a James Bond film as she is playing a ravaged crack addict or the mutant “Storm” in the “X-Men” films.

She’s also garnered an impressive number of milestones during her career. Among them, she’s the only African-American woman to have won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Tenacious and talented, Halle Berry is just hitting her stride as one of Hollywood’s most sought after, and highly compensated, actresses.

In September 2008 she gave birth to a baby girl. She and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry named her Nahla Ariela Aubry.

  • Name: Halle Berry
