Halle Berry, “Black Pearl” to win Oscar´s Best Actress

April 6th, 2008 admin

Halle Berry, the first African-American actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress, takes on a new role. She’s just given birth to a baby girl. In our “List” today, we step closer to this celebrated artist, hailed as Hollywood’s Black Pearl.

Halle Berry was born August 14, 1966 in the state of Ohio. Her father was an African-American, Jerome Berry, a former hospital attendant. Her Caucasian mother Judith, was a psychiatric nurse. Halle Berry entered public awareness as the winner of the Miss Teen All-America Pageant. She represented her home state of Ohio. That was in 1985. A year later she was first runner-up at the Miss USA Pageant. The recognition propelled Berry into modeling. Like Cameron Diaz and Charlize Theron, Halle Berry soon turned from modeling to movies. And her drop-dead good looks fueled her success.

Berry came into the movie spotlight in 1991 when she appeared in Spike Lee’s big screen production “Jungle Fever”. Her role in the film was her big screen breakthrough. Success followed success after that. In 1999 she earned critical acclaim playing an actress in the title role of the HBO drama “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge”. She won a Golden Globe for Best Actress as well as an Emmy.

3 Looks: Marisa Tomei

March 31st, 2008 admin

I saw an article the other day about the top ten hottest Oscar winners. I forget who ranked exactly (it was a Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie 1-2 punch), but I was absolutely appalled that Marisa Tomei might be absent from such a list. She is in my opinion, flat out the most naturally beautiful broad on the planet. Whenever I see her, my head kind of snaps back like that critic in RATATOUILLE and then when I return I’m skipping hand in hand with her through a forest where friendly bears and rabbits play tennis and hopscotch by the pond.

She claims she has enjoyed her pregnancy so much she wants to be pregnant for ever.

But our picture shows Halle Berry’s wait to become a mother is almost over - and that must surely be a relief, given the size of the 41-year-old’s bump on a visit to see friends in Venice, California.
