Halle Berry

Halle Berry

Birth Date: August 14, 1966
Birth Place: Cleveland, Ohio

The breathtaking Halle Berry made history as the first black woman to win an Oscar for her gritty Monster's Ball performance in 2002.

Before taking home the Oscar, her career was a balance of big-budget movies (Die Another Day, the X-Men trilogy) and critically acclaimed dramas (Spike Lee's Jungle Fever and played the title role in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge). Despite her professional success and stunning beauty, the actress failed to find lasting love. She divorced Atlanta Braves baseball player David Justice and second husband, singer Eric Benét – both of whom cheated on her. But in her 40s, Berry finally found happiness with model Gabriel Aubry, with whom she had her first child, daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, in March 2008.
