Halle Berry- A Stormy Life - Book

First known for her beauty - she was the first black American Miss World entrant and is the face and spokeswoman for Revlon – Halle Berry is now acknowledged as a supremely talented actress.

She got her first big break as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever, won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of 50s black actress Dorothy Dandridge and in 2002 became the first African-American woman to win a Best Actress Oscar for her role in Monster's Ball. She has also recently appeared in mainstream movies, such as X-Men (a role she reprised in the 2003 sequel) and Die Another Day opposite Pierce Brosnan.
