Halle Berry, Hollywood actress and former beauty queen is now one of the highest paid actresses in America. African American by descent, this black beauty has left many ailing hearts in her trail behind with her exotic looks and power pack performances.
She was born as Halle Maria Berry on August 14, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio to Judith Ann, a white, psychiatric nurse and Jerome Jesse Berry; an African-American hospital attendant in the same psychiatric ward where Halle’s mother worked who later became a bus driver. Her parents divorced when Halle was just 4 years old and since then had been estranged from her father for her whole period of childhood. She also has an older sister Heidi Berry.

Halle took part in many beauty contests during 1980s and even won the title of Miss Teen All-American in 1985 and Miss Ohio USA in 1986. In fact, she placed second in the Miss USA 1986 pageant which placed her automatically as an entrant to the Miss World title 1986. Incidentally, she was the first black American woman to enter the contest.
