Halle Berry
Born: 14 August 1966 Cleveland, Ohio Height: 5' 7" Measurements: 36C-22-37
Famed for her perfect body and erotic sexuality. In late 2001, Berry's role as Leticia Musgrove, in the film Monster's Ball earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. As Bond Girl Jinx in 2002's Die Another Day she famously re-created the scene from Dr. No, bursting from the surf - scantily clad - to be greeted by James Bond, as Ursula Andress did 40 years earlier. In late 2003, Berry starred in the psychological thriller Gothika opposite Charles S. Dutton, which was the first film that she "carried," i.e., her role was the most important one in the film. Her next lead role was in the film Catwoman, for which she was awarded a "worst actress" Razzie award in 2005, which she actually accepted in person with a sense of humour and recognition that "to be at the top, you must experience the rock bottom". In 2003, Berry was named No. 1 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll. She is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood, commanding $14 million each for Gothika and Catwoman.

Monster's Ball:
Set in modern Mississippi, MONSTER'S BALL subtly examines the impact of personal loss and the transforming power of human connection. The movie begins in the state penitentiary's death row, where father-and-son prison guards Hank (Billy Bob Thornton) and Sonny Grotowski (Heath Ledger) administer the execution of a black death-row inmate Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs), who leaves behind a wife, Leticia (Halle Berry), and son, Tyrell (Coronji Calhoun). When both Hank and Leticia's children subsequently die, the two grieving parents are accidentally thrust together, where they begin to find comfort and eventually a form of redemption. Employing a languid pace and minimalist dialogue, Halle Berry's performance won her the Best Actress Oscar.
