Halle Berry
Born August 14, 1966 - Cleveland, Ohio
This luminous actress had a relatively normal childhood, and her beauty led her to win the Miss Teen All-American Pageant in 1985 for her native state of Ohio, and won first runner-up in Miss USA a year later. This led to a career in modeling, then to TV work. Her professionalism and willingness to become the character she plays, even off the set, sparked interest, and her breakthrough in film work was in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever in 1991. She is a spokeswoman for Revlon cosmetics, is diabetic, and is the first African American actress to win the Oscar for Best Actress.
Personal Quote: "There's art and there's commerce. You have to find a way to mesh the two. It's important to do the little movies just for the love of the art. But it's those big movies that take you around the world and make you globally famous."
