Professional Life
Halle moved to New York City in 1989 to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. At first, she had difficulty supporting herself and finding acting work. For a period, she even resided in a homeless shelter.
‘Jungle Fever,’ a small part in 1991’s picture, was her first big break. After this, her career really took off.
Two years later, in 1995, she portrayed Khaila Richards in ‘Losing Isaiah,’ and she was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance. Executive Decisions, Bulworth, and BAPS were among the many more films she featured in in the 1990s.
As Dorothy Dandridge in the 1999 TV movie “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge,” she won multiple honors for her performance.
The next year, Halle performed the character of Storm in the film ‘X-Men,’ which swept the world by storm.
For ‘Monster’s Ball,’ she got the part of a lifetime as Leticia Musgrove in 2001. Her performance in this part marked a key turning point in her career, and she went on to win multiple prizes for it.
There have been numerous additional roles since then, including Catwoman (Gothica), Robots (Perfect Stranger), The Call (The Call), and Kidnap (Kidnap).
Currently, Halle Berry has a fortune of $90 million.
Awards and Recognition
An Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award went to Halle for her performance as Dorothy Dandridge in Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. Also in 2001, Berry won an Oscar for her performance in Monster’s Ball and was nominated for a BAFTA for the same role. “Best Actress” is the only category in which Halle Berry has won an Oscar.
Personal Life
David Justice was Halle’s husband from 1993 to 1997. From 2001 to 2005, she was married to Eric Benét, a musician. From 2005 through 2010, she was romantically linked to Canadian model Gabriel Aubry. Their relationship resulted in the birth of one kid. From 2013 to 2016, she was married to the actor Olivier Martinez. They are the parents of a single child.
Berry was ordered by a judge in 2014 to pay Gabriel Aubry more than $16,000 a month in child support for their daughter Nahla until she was 19.
An additional $115,000 in retroactive child support and Aubry’s legal fees were ordered by the court. For Nahla’s school tuition, Berry is solely liable, and both parents will split the expense of Nahla’s health care. Berry and Aubry met in 2005 and divorced in 2010, igniting a nasty dispute over child custody and maintenance.
In 2012, Aubry and Berry’s husband, Olivier Martinez, got into a physical argument when Aubry came to Berry’s house to drop off her 4-year-old daughter, Nahla.
It was also part of Berry’s court struggles with Aubry that Nahla’s nanny filed a protective order against Aubry. Their custody fight was resolved in the spring of 2011 and Nahla now lives with both of her parents.
