10 Things You Didn’t Know About Halle Berry

Posted by Pooya | Feb 9, 2015 | Features | 0 |

9. 1st African American actress to win the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Make me feel good.

“Monster’s Ball” is a 2001 American romantic drama film helmed by director Marc Forster and starring Halle Berry, Billy Bob Thornton and Heath Ledger. This raw and emotional film tells the story of Leticia Musgrove a poverty stricken Southern woman who, after the execution of her husband (Sean “Puffy” Combs), falls for a widowed prison-guard (Thorton). Berry’s brilliant, and at times naked, performance earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress, the 1st Academy Award received by a African American actress.

About The Author

Pooya

Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.
