Halle Berry
Halle Berry first began her career as a model. In 1986, she came close to winning the Miss USA pageant. However, it was her acting prowess that would ultimately make her famous. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002, becoming the first African-American woman to do so. This historic achievement helped propel Berry into Hollywood’s stratosphere of highest-paid actresses in subsequent years.
She is a three-time divorcee and has been married three times, including to boxer Jesse James from 2004 to 2008. She is currently engaged to musician Van Hunt, having previously lived happily single.
