Trivia Cosmetics and beauty house Revlon has lashed out at claims they're in the middle of a rift with Oscar-winning beauty Halle Berry. • In high school, she was chosen prom queen but was accused of stuffing the ballot box. She was forced to share the title - and with a blonde, Anglo-Saxton American girl. • She was so depressed after her 1997 divorce she was on the brink of committing suicide. Berry, who was also going to take the lives of her two dogs, was sitting in her car inhaling the deadly exhaust fumes when the thought of her mother made her see sense. • Playing as Storm, she was supposed to wear opaque white lenses for the scenes of X-MEN (2000) where she uses her weather-control powers. However, she found the lenses unbearable, so her eye effects had to be done entirely through CGI. • She turned down the role of Annie and Stephen Baldwin turned down the role of Jack in the 1994 SPEED. The blockbuster film catapulted Sandra Bullock as a major film actress, and greatly improved upon Keanu Reeve's box office appeal. • Judith Berry's family disowned their daughter after she married Jerome Berry, simply because he was black. • Performing in beauty pageants never won Judith Berry's approval. According to Halle's mother: "What do you turn a beauty pageant crown into, what does it do, what does it mean? • Halle wanted Demi Moore's role in Indecent Proposal, but the producer called her manager and frankly stated: "Why would a black woman sell her body for a million dollars?" • Halle turned down the role of Tina Turner in What's Love Got To Do With It because she had already played an abused, battered woman in Queen. • Halle Berry is named after the grand old Halle Building in Cleveland, OH which originally housed the Halle Brothers department store. The building is now an office building and the fictional setting for the Winfred-Louder department store on "The Drew Carey Show." • When she first started modeling, she was too short to do runway modeling in New York or Europe. She's 5'6". • She suffered an inflamed eye in an accident on the set of the latest James Bond film. • Halle is rumored to have shot a full-frontal nude scene for a steamy sex scene in her latest James Bond flick. • Halle wanted the part Jodie Foster recieved in Silence of the Lambs, but the casting directors said that the character of "Clarice" was not black. They didn't let her audition. • 80% of Halle's hearing in her right ear was lost, due to abuse from a previous boyfriend. • Halle is diabetic. |
