But she does not give anything to anyone for a moment to forget about his African-American origin. The words she demands equal rights, in reality exceptional. Requires and wants.
In Hollywood she earned a bitch. Behind her, whispering that Holly Barry is a real witch: it is dangerous not only to fight, but simply interests intersect with any offender or competitor happen trouble!
However, the author of this hearing - the actress herself. She says that among her ancestors the famous Tituba, the only black among the Salem witches, and the only one of the accused, who really took care of everyday life magic...
To check this assertion, of course, impossible, because during slavery happened that brothers and sisters were sold in different States, and what became of the children Tituba - surely she didn't know!
Holly says that in her family since the seventeenth century, from generation to generation, as terrible secret was passed down the story of their great-great-grandmother Tituba, and some of her magical spells... which oskaronosnaya beauty holds now in fear all Hollywood.
Those few who refers to her indulgently, call it "the black cat, which God forbid someone cross the road." Therefore, when the producers of the film "Catwoman" was chosen for the leading role Halle berry, this caused an avalanche of jokes and ridicule from the "Hollywood" public: "Finally Holly berry appreciated! ". And she Holly grabbed role in all of his claws.
The film promised to be cash, but it really seemed to be created for this role: her slender body, slim waist, long legs and a small head on a slender neck - so look good in tight-fitting costume of Catwoman, topped by a half-mask with ears!
... Actually the most famous "cat woman" was blond and green-eyed Michelle Pfeiffer. In one of the "Batman" Michelle played the role of the popular heroine of comic books, a modest girl, who revealed the insidious conspiracy of the barons, for that he was killed and then resurrected by an ancient Egyptian figurines of cats, and after the resurrection was the night avenger, cat woman in a shiny black latex. In the new movie Catwoman becomes the main character and heroine almost positive (almost, because in their quest for justice, she has repeatedly crosses the law).
In this role claimed blond and green-eyed Nicole Kidman and Ashley Judd, but the role also liked Holly and berry - and at this point, all attempts at green-eyed blonde to become a "cat woman" were doomed: "black cat" berry claws, and other Actresses chose to not continue the fight, and retreated, as everyone who goes the way of "black cat" berry. To quarrel with it is really risky. Especially those who have white skin.
Okay - witchcraft, some do not believe this... But any action on the part of the enemy will be interpreted Holly as racism, and in modern America there is no more terrible accusations. And it would be more serious most fierce opponents!
Halle berry intensively discussing his African American ancestry, but actually she is a mulatto - black her father, and her mother is white. Father and mother met and married in England, in Liverpool. Beautiful and strong black male nurse seduced smart, but not too attractive blond Englishwoman.
Judith was a private psychiatrist and his love in Jerome berry was subsequently referred to as a kind of psychosis... Jerome drank and beat her relatives did not accept her marriage to a black man, Judith had to go to the United States in Cleveland, where Jerome had relatives, where she had two daughters, Heidi and Holly.
Halle berry was born August 14, 1966. After the birth of daughters Jerome continued to drink and beat Judith, and new black relatives also did not accept their marriage, calling Judith as "white bitch" and her daughters - "the bastard half-breeds". Even the kids have taken over the ratio of adults to Judith and her children: cousins attacked Heidi and Holly and beat them to the blood, so that the girls were afraid to even go outside to play.
In the end, Judith broke down and left her husband. Settled in the white quarter. Got a job - nurse in a psychiatric hospital, a doctor with a foreign diploma is almost impossible to get a decent job in the US. Distress, but did not give up. Gave their daughters to school, where mainly studied white. Here they also had to deal with racial intolerance - the Englishwoman with two black daughters looked with curiosity and disapproval, and Holly at school several times called him a "nigger" and would not let her leading roles in school plays.
Most likely, the roots of the ongoing resentment Halle berry in the whole world, just like the roots of her constant desire to assert themselves and to destroy real and imagined opponents, are drawn from her childhood, when he and his sister felt like strangers in the family the mother and father's family.
Halle berry has never forgiven the white of his mother's relatives, but about hatred from black Rodney had to forget.
About black racism will not accepted not accepted him even noticing, like it or not. And Holly was mad at his sister Heidi when she is in one of the interviews told how horrible they were treated in the black quarter and that "my dad used to beat my sister, mom and our dog".
To recognize yourself as a victim as well and black racism, it was Halle berry at least disadvantageous in that time, when she spoke in her interview: "the True purpose of my life is to get people to abandon definitely biased opinion about blacks and destroy negative stereotypes associated with people of other races. If I succeed at least to some extent - I know that is not lived in vain life".
Of his two daughters Judith had always allocated younger: she was more beautiful and more capable, has attracted more attention from others - and thus required a more serious control in the family. Over time, Heidi was simply embarrassed, became like background for the brilliant Holly. Girls were jealous of each other, argued and even fought, and as an adult, had not penetrated each other with sympathy.
Judith tried to give their daughters a good education and upbringing, took seriously all their adolescent problems, sooner told them about the intimate secrets of life - so that the girls have not started their sexual life unprepared, and even allowed Jerome to return to the family, because they believed that girls is useful to get to know the father, so you will not suffer a complex of abandoned daughters. But Jerome again began to drink and to keep your hands - and together mother and daughter drove him out of his life, this time forever.
Star career began to Holly with beauty contests: first was the victory in the competition for the title of Young Miss Ohio, then a Young Miss America, then Holly took second place in Miss USA, then took third place in the Miss world contest. "I spent half his life with a crown on his head," laughed Holly. The result of all these victories was that black beauty was noticed in the modeling agencies and was even offered a contract with the company Revlon.
In 1989, Holly got her first role in a Comedy series about girls-models "Living dolls". Then Holly got small insignificant roles on television. "At some point I realized that beauty is good, but perishable goods, " recalls Holly. External data must be supported by education".
She went to study, he enrolled in the University's journalism school, but six months internship at the local radio station convinced her that journalism is not its credo: too hard.
Critics noticed for the first time on Halle berry in the film, spike Lee's "jungle Fever". A well-known fighter for the rights of black, spike Lee has almost become the godfather of Halle berry in the movie. Although initially he did not want to take on this role, Holly charmed him with its aggressive assertiveness and he lost.
For my first significant role Halle berry came up very seriously: visited clinics for the treatment of drug addicts, talked to them, tried to understand what it's like to be addicted to drugs, and for ten days prior to the shooting had stopped to wash and will not change her clothes to look natural in the role of the tramp. History is silent as to how to react to this "creative feat colleagues Halle berry on the set...
Criticism mixed perceived "jungle Fever", but Halle berry noticed and noted. But then for a long time she had to play alone banal beauties: stripper in "the Last boy scout", businesswomen in "Boomerang", the Secretary in "the Flintstones", a wealthy widow in "the Wife of a rich man," and even more "faceless" role in the Thriller "Ordered to kill", in the melodrama "Why do fools fall in love" and "BULWORTH". Significant role from it somehow escaped...
Halle berry claimed the lead role in the movie "Indecent proposal" and tried to play the "black card", when the role given to demi Moore, but the producers of the film said her lawyer, that on the contrary: the approval of a black actress for the role of the bride sold to the rich man for a million dollars will just be a racial insult the feelings of African Americans!
Holly wanted to play the role of Clarissa in the movie "silence of the lambs" - but she was not in favor of jodie foster, and when she tried here to make a statement about discrimination on racial grounds, she explained that it is rather discrimination based on external data: she is too beautiful for the role of the FBI agent.
But she was offered the main role in the movie "Speed" and Holly refused to itself, than later regretted very much.
Again attract the attention of critics Halle berry managed only in the drama "Losing Isaiah", where she again has successfully played a drug addict, only now the former fighting for something, so she returned the child, from whom she once refused. But it was "not her role" - at least, Halle berry did not feel their own. And she knew, what role will be "it".
The role of the actress of the 50-ies Dorothy Dandridge, the first black, which is nominated for "Oscar". It has always been for Holly ideal, Holly even thought that the soul of Dorothy or possessed by it, or simply invisible presence as a guardian angel - and all this despite the fact that Dorothy Dandridge was banal drug addict and died of an overdose, as many Hollywood Actresses in the fifties, when many people, regardless of skin color, abused antidepressants and sleeping pills and died. However, Halle berry believed that the death of Dorothy Dandridge blame her white environment that she had alone to deal with Rusetski configured environment... And was going to submit this story this way.
She bought the film rights to the biography of Dorothy Dandridge and decided to invest in setting their own funds. Holly tried to "cooperate" with other black stars - Whitney Houston and Janet Jackson - but the ladies gave her to understand that they are not against it would be to play a major role, however, to risk money is not going. And Holly decided to put the film alone.
The main role of it is, of course, fulfilled itself, and as a Director invited Martha Coolidge, who had adopted the view of Holly on the fate of Dorothy Dandridge and made the film "Meet Dorothy Dandridge" exactly as Holly wanted. Because of the role of Dorothy Halle berry received the admiration of critics, and a number of awards, including the prestigious Emmy.
But the real success brought Holly role waitresses Leticia Musgrove in the drama "monster's Ball". And for this role, Holly also had to fight! Marc Forster, the Director of "monsters Ball" not only did not want to take Halle berry in this role, he saw her character very different... But "black cat" has talons in the project and the Director.
"I just wanted to sit down and explain how I see it. As I imagine the movie. How can I breathe life into it. I just needed to give me a chance to tell him all this, all that built up inside me, and I got the chance. We met several times with him, then I had to talk with the producer, then with Billy Bob, until they realized that it was easier to give in, with a satisfied smile says Holly.
For this role in March 2002 she received the "Oscar".
In fact, at the presentation it was expected that Oscar will get Nicole Kidman... But Halle berry has spent serious preparatory work and repeatedly gave an interview in which he stated that they have no hopes for an Oscar, because the members of the American Academy obsessed with racial prejudice, and although she was nominated once her beloved Dorothy Dandridge, the coveted statuettes not see her.
Everyone in the audience was aware that the award "Oscar" Halle berry is a purely political gesture, and so without much sympathy took a well-staged "hysteria" was awarded, long Vishva and cried into the microphone, before you wipe the tears and make another speech about the rights of blacks and about the violation of these rights.
The role of jinx had such success with the audience that for the first time the existence of bond they agreed to sell the rights to the characters and to give rise to a whole series on the grounds, with drinks as the main heroine. Holly took this idea with interest: "This is a great idea! If jinx left as is, or her character would have developed further if it was surrounded by the same commitment that the bond - I'm happy to have played in the series".
But the idea of the show and hung in the air, meanwhile, Holly has played a mutant Storm in the sequel to the popular film "X-Men" and then turned into a "cat Woman"...
Career Halle berry has been great, but it is not about her personal life. Even as a teenager, she suffered from the fact that invariably fell in love with a beautiful but aggressive guys, like my father. "Almost every one of them insulted me either physically or psychologically," recalls Holly.
Mother psychiatrist tried to explain to her the reason and give a scientific definition of the phenomenon, and Holly knew everything, but... couldn't stop falling in love with Buyanov.
One of them - by the way, the Chairman of a University society of the struggle for racial rights of African Americans, was beaten Holly because of beatings she burst eardrum and she was deaf in one ear. But oddly enough, Holly continued to love him: this he left her, and not she, and still it retains warm feelings towards his tormentor... Holly does not want to call his name in an interview: "I really loved this person, so I don't want to talk about it, don't want to denigrate".
In 1992, Halle berry met with a star baseball David Justin and fell in love with him at first sight. He asked her for an autograph and she wrote on the card your phone. She first invited him on a date, considering that men are afraid of beautiful women, "so you have to take the first step, otherwise you can stay without a boyfriend".
A year later they were married, Holly has tattooed the name of a loved on her buttocks and moved to Atlanta, where David played for the local baseball team, they were called "the most beautiful pair among the celebrities, but the marriage lasted only three years: in 1996, they filed for divorce.
David said that life with Holly reminds him of "a walk in bitoa glass" that you can never expect what Holly would react violent hysteria, and additionally Holly liked to tease his jealousy, flirting in his presence with other men. Holly, in turn, believed that he has the right "to Express the accumulated emotions" through the hysteria that David should keep their proprietary instincts and not be jealous when she, as a free person, comes into contact with other men...But David insisted on divorce.
Holly was very worried gap with David, one time even considered suicide, but was saved from pity for the mother, for which the death of the daughter would be unbearable blow. After her divorce from David Justin, Halle berry caught up with another problem: she had an accident.
Actually, Holly has always been famous for his foolhardiness and this accident was not the first, but before the actress was able to get out, and this time Holly passed the red light on the eyes of the police and rammed the car in which sat a woman is a lawyer, well versed in the laws and rights, and everything else Halle berry fled the scene of the accident that aggravated her guilt...
Despite the fact that the actress was admitted to the hospital, where she had left twenty-two bead on the forehead, she has not managed to shift the blame for the accident to the other driver. Although Halle berry did everything I could, and even tried to play the same map black": after all, the woman driver and the police officer was white, and therefore, was able to manipulate the facts to blame the American! However, witnesses were too many... the Court sentenced the actress to two hundred hours of community service and a fine of nine thousand dollars.
In the press this story was actively discussed, and Holly had to refrain from appearing at the ceremony "Oscar-2001", that she is very upset: "I felt that the press has presented me in a false light. Ordinary traffic accident has become a crime. I was at the mercy of the courts, the police and everyone who wanted to speak on this occasion. I was upset that many people simply refused to believe me".
But Holly has coped with this blow, as with the separation from David Justin. The scar from the accident from his forehead actress brought a plastic surgeon, and the name of David on tummy Holly covered with a new tattoo - a huge sunflower.
And in the end, fate smiled Holly.
She met, as everyone then thought true love: soul musician Eric Benet did offer Halle berry after a long, beautiful and romantic courtship. They married secretly, but then Holly decided to "spill the beans" to journalists about his family happiness. Then she enthusiastically chirped that found in Erica support and understanding, lover and friend that she loves him and her step-daughter - India, the daughter of Eric from his first marriage.
"In his new album, six songs dedicated to me! We all support each other! It's so wonderful that you have such support! with tears of emotion told Holly. And communication with India nourishes my soul, she taught me what love is. I thought I know a lot about it, but only when I had my daughter I realized what it means to receive and give love unselfishly and wholeheartedly".
But this marriage did not last long. Eric Benet - as previously David Justin began to show "possessiveness", that is simply jealous of Holly. And it was not pleasant, it again have infringed the rights of a free person, anyway..."I'm terribly fickle. With this approach to life is hard to build strong relationships with people. I hate it in myself. The worst thing is that I'm trying to justify himself" - complained Halle berry journalists.
Family life became for Eric increasingly painful, he began to drink, and eventually the paparazzi photographed him in the arms of his former passion... Halle berry has made a frightful scandal and divorced traitor - and fototoestel his treason appeared in court that gave Holly a material advantage in the division of property. Eric similar evidence was not, and indeed he was ready for any material loss, if only to leave with Holly.
And again Halle berry became "the cat that walks by himself". She teased fans by claiming that often appears under different nicknames in chat rooms intended for Dating. And fans of the actress tried in vain to calculate it in the world...
Then she said that she was going to have a baby. Journalists alerted - but it turned out that the new boyfriend Halle berry not got: she intends to use the services of a sperm donor. The child she wanted. And the men finally got tired of it. However, she gave birth to yet not from an unknown donor, but from my boyfriend.
Daughter Holly and Gabriel, Neil Arial, was born on March 1, 2008. Now Gabrielle said he wants another child. "Our daughter needs a brother or sister, because this is very important, - said Gabriel, who himself grew up in a large family. I don't know any families with one child, I was surrounded by a large family".
It is unlikely that he would dare to say it out loud, if Holly it is not fully supported... Now all the media talking about the rumors that Halle berry is pregnant again.
She is 43 years old, but modern women are giving birth later and later. Especially if you can afford a good medicine.Holly and Gabrielle this time, such as, decided on IVF. However, Holly while information about pregnancy not confirmed. And does not refute. "Gabriel always wanted to have at least two children, " says Halle berry. - Will or not - we'll see. But at least we will try, that's for sure". And if Holly wants something - she always gets...
No wonder she is the heiress Tituba, black Salem witches.
