Halle Berry

Afnan Khadawurdi

She was born on August 14th, 1966, in Cleveland. When she was studying at high school she was very active and she took part in plenty of activities such as being newspaper editor. After that she completed her study at Cleveland’s Cuyahoga Community College where she studied broadcast journalism.

She started her career as an actor in television with a role on the short-lived sitcom Living Dolls in 1989. In February of 2000 Berry faced controversy when she was involved in a hit and run accident that erupted into a tabloid scandal. In the summer of 2001 she costarred with John Travolta in an action movie Swordfish.

She is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood. She has earned as much as $14 million a film. In 2009 she acted in the movie Frankie and Alice.

She has achieved a lot of awards after an Oscar in 2002 for best actress in a leading role for Monster’s Ball. In 2002, 2004 and 2008 she won BET awards for best actress. Also, in 2005 and 2006 she won the Black movie award.

I admire Halle Berry because she achieved something for the first time in being the first African American woman to win an Oscar. She still continues to win awards

  4. Hello Afnan,
    I also think that Halle Berry has played an important role in the fight against racial discrimination. Being the first African American woman to win an Oscar for best actress is a great success.
