Halle from the Heart
By Merle Ginsberg
Academy Award-winner Halle Berry takes on another harrowing role in her new movie, Gothika, but it's her journey to motherhood that she considers her most important accomplishment.
Birthday Girl
Just as the November Issue of Ladies' Home Journal (from which this article is featured) was about to hit the newsstands, Halle Berry released a statement saying "Eric and I have had marital problems for some time now and have tried to work things out together. However, at this point, I feel we need time apart to re-evaluate our union. We ask that you respect our privacy as we are going through this emotional time." Our hearts go out to Halle, especially given the devotion she displayed towards her husband and daughter in the interview below, conducted a scant two months ago.
It's the eve of Halle Berry's 37th birthday, and instead of getting all dolled up for a big night in one of the exquisite, figure-flattering designer gowns she's become famous for wearing since winning practically every acting award known to man -- an Emmy, a Golden Globe, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and of course, the Oscar -- she's working. Having just left a photo session to promote her new Halloween thriller, Gothika, she's now in her favorite booth at the Sunset Strip restaurant Mirabelle and is hunkering down for this interview, nary a birthday cupcake in sight.
"I'm kinda tired," she admits, "and so hungry I might eat my sleeve!" She orders broiled fish and a glass of red wine, because after finally weaning herself off daily insulin shots, the actress, whose diabetes was diagnosed early in her career, is committed to a "totally healthy" diet. "But I can hardly complain," Berry says. "It's not like I've been flipping burgers all day!" She's sporting a rarely photographed casual look of jeans, a black blouse and no makeup, with her newly grown-in hair pinned up in back with a butterfly clip. At her side is a Le Sportsac bag designed by her buddy, rocker Gwen Stefani.
Halle Berry is a petite woman with a big life -- and no pretensions; you won't find a trace of the diva attitude she's certainly earned the right to have. That may be because the firmly A-list actress has fought a long battle to get to the top. Growing up in Cleveland, with a white mother who divorced her black father when Berry was just 4, she was ostracized by both black and white kids, and never felt that she quite belonged anywhere. After a stint in modeling, she landed in Hollywood in the late 1980s and soon got good reviews for her roles in movies such as Jungle Fever and Losing Isaiah. But Berry then all but shelved her career to marry Atlanta Braves star David Justice and become what she calls "a baseball wife" in 1993. When the marriage ended in divorce in 1996, she came back to Hollywood and starred in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge for HBO. It was a project that she fought to get made -- and it put her back on the Hollywood map. But it was her powerful performance in Monster's Ball that netted Berry her 2002 Oscar, making her the first black woman to win the Academy Award for best actress.
