Born
August 14, 1968, in Cleveland, Ohio, Halle is a stunning model,
a celebrity entertainer and a star actress. Halle is the youngest
daughter born to Jerome and Judith Berry, an interracial couple.
Halle, and her older
sister Heidi, spent the first few years of their childhood
living in an inner-city neighborhood. Her abusive father,
Jerome Berry, abandoned his wife and children, and left the
family when Halle was four years old. Halle was raised almost
totally by her mother, Judith, a psychiatric nurse. Judith
then moved her family to the predominantly white Cleveland
suburb of Bedford.

This rough start to her life
did not deter her from excelling in whatever she did. Halle attended
a nearly all-white public school, and as a result, she was subjected
to discrimination at an early age. Throughout high school, Halle
participated in a variety of extracurricular activities, holding
positions of newspaper editor, class president, member of the honor
society, varsity cheerleader, and prom queen.
Halle easily won Miss Ohio,
Miss Teen All-American, and in 1986, was first runner-up in the
Miss USA pageant. She was the first African American to represent
the U.S. in the Miss World competition in London. Halle attended
Cleveland's Cuyahoga Community College, where she studied broadcast
journalism. Halle abandoned her idea of a career in news reporting
however, choosing to wholeheartedly devote her time to a career
in entertainment. She first moved to Chicago, then New York City,
where she found work as a catalog model.
Halle's acting career began
in television with a role on the short-lived sitcom "Living
Dolls". This was followed by a year-long run on the CBS prime
time drama "Knot’s Landing". Halle's first big screen
break came later that year when she was cast as Samuel L. Jackson’s
drug addicted girlfriend in Spike Lee’s "Jungle Fever".
More substantial supporting roles followed, including that of a
stripper in the action-thriller "The Last Boy Scout",
starring Bruce Willis. This success lead to Halle as the woman who
finally wins Eddie Murphy’s heart in the romantic comedy "Boomerang".
Halle, now with a few films
under her belt, accepted more offbeat roles, making cameos in the
rockumentary "CB4" which traced the rise and fall of the
titled rap group. She then starred in the live action version of
"The Flintstones", featuring Halle as a Stone Age seductress,
a very sexy and successful performance. Halle's next role was a
no-holds-barred performance as a rehabilitated crack addict seeking
to regain custody of her son in "Losing Isaiah". The story
was set in the midst of a bitter custody battle with adoptive parents,
played by Jessica Lange and David Strathairn. Later that year, Halle
overcame Hollywood's racial barriers when she was cast as the first
African American to play the Queen of Sheeba in Showtime’s
movie "Solomon & Sheeba".
In a short romance, Halle
was involved in a stormy relationship with "Jungle Fever"
costar Wesley Snipes. In 1993, she married Atlanta Braves outfielder
David Justice, and three years later, Berry filed for a divorce,
which was finalized in 1997. After a nasty divorce from Justice,
Halle became secretly engaged to Eric Benét, a jazz musician,
in August of 1999. The engagement was announced in December of that
year. Halle introduced Benét as her "husband" at
the public unveiling of her official Web site, Hallewood, in February
2001, while the couple actually wed two weeks before at an undisclosed
tropical location. Recently, Halle has been introduced as the new
Bond Girl, and we are sure to see her in a very sexy role in the
near future.
