Actress Halle Berry is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but her incredible talent of "becoming" the character she portrays led her to being the first African-American in the history of the Academy Awards to win the Best Actress Oscar (for 'Monster's Ball') in 2002.
Born to a mixed-race couple, Halle Berry's upbringing was marred by her father's abuse of her mother and sister (though never Berry herself). This, added to the racist taunts she endured at school, only made her even more determined to "fit in" and strive to achieve all her ambitions. By the time she was in her teens she was prom queen, editor of the school newspaper and top of her class.
Professionally Berry got her big break in the 1991 hit 'Jungle Fever' alongside Samuel L Jackson.
Frank Sanello delves into the life of Halle Berry to uncover the truth about the abuse, the racism and the screen nudity, while also showing how one of the most beautiful and talented women in the world still finds it difficult to get the parts she wants.
