Who is this?
Halle Maria Berry ( HAL-ee; born Maria Halle Berry; August 14, 1966) is an American actress. She began her career as a model and beauty contestant becoming Miss Ohio USA in 1986, first runner-up in Miss USA 1986 and placing sixth in Miss World 1986. Her early film roles include Boomerang (1992), The Flintstones (1994) and Bulworth (1998). She later produced and starred in the television film Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999), for which she won a Primetime Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. For her performance of a struggling widow in the romantic drama Monster's Ball (2001), she became the only African-American woman (so far) to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the first woman of color. Later roles include Storm in the X-Men film series (2000–2014), a villain in Swordfish (2001), Bond girl Jinx in Die Another Day (2002), a psychiatrist in Gothika (2003), and the title role in the much-derided Catwoman (2004). A varying critical and commercial reception followed in subsequent years, with Perfect Stranger (2007), Cloud Atlas (2012) and The Call (2013) being among her notable film releases in that period. She appeared in the action films Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017) and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and made her directorial debut with the Netflix drama Bruised (2020). Berry also produced the television film Lackawanna Blues (2005). She has since produced several projects in which she also performed, including Frankie & Alice (2010) and the CBS science fiction series Extant (2014–2015). In 2014, Berry launched the production company 606 Films. She has been a Revlon spokesmodel since 1996. She was formerly married to baseball player David Justice, singer-songwriter Eric Benét, and actor Olivier Martinez. Berry has two children. She shares her first child with her former partner Gabriel Aubry, a model, and she shares her second child with Martinez. In 2025, Berry launched Respin Health, an online company focused on menopause that offers a social media support group, information about menopause, health coaching including nutritionists, trainers, and telemedicine (including for hormone replacement therapy), and sales of dietary supplements and sexual aids.
