In 2001, Halle Berry won an Academy Award as best actor for his performance in Monster Ball is directed by Marc Forster. The award was the first African-American woman to win an Oscar in this category. Dorothy Dandridge was the first black woman to be nominated for an Oscar for this - 50 years before.
Some viewers believe that Berry won a movie with dubious racial politics. In Monster Ball, she plays a widow who has to worship, white guard to oversee the implementation details of her husband. For many viewers, however, was memorable to see black woman finally win this award.
Instead of speculating on politics, an Oscar for Monster Ball, it is important to focus on the major achievement of Berry is to meet Dorothy Dandridge heritage.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Berry is the product of an interracial marriage. His mother is white and her father is African American. She grew up in Cleveland with her mother and sister. As Pam Grier, Berry began his public career as a beauty pageant participant and model. His film debut came when she landed a role in the ABC comedy Living Dolls.
Years later, she refers to herself as "token negro" a show where the writers struggled to write dialogue for black characters.
His first film was in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever Vivian portrays the character addicted girlfriend of Samuel L. Jackson, Gator. In the film, she had a convincing performance. Many people find it difficult to recognize or remember Berry playing Vivian acted in Jungle Fever because the role is extremely unattractive compared with other screen appearances.
His next major role was in the black comedy Boomerang romantic. Faced with Eddie Murphy, the film solidified his innocence, the image of girl next door. It is also found in a black urban community of young professionals. The film has created a world that Eddie Murphy and director Reginald Hudlin felt was sorely lacking in Hollywood movies.
Berry Paper Khaila following was so great Richards family melodrama Losing Isaiah with Jessica Lange co-star, Samuel L. Jackson. Again, Berry has been a subtle performance, measured, this time playing the drug-addicted mother who cleans to regain custody of her son, only to discover he was adopted by a black social worker.
