Hello darlings, welcome back to Cognac’s Corner Magazine.

 

 Halle Berry

 

According to a recent article in Parade Magazine which will be featured in this Sunday’s Post, a depressed Halle Berry attempted suicide after her divorce to David Justice, famous ball player. 

Beautiful Berry was so distraught she tried to gas herself but at the last minute overcame her suicide attempt.  “I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother (Judith) finding me.”  Berry revealed to Parade.  “She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do…It was all about a relationship.  My sense of worth was so low.  I had to reprogram myself to see the good in me… Because someone didn’t love me didn’t mean I was unlovable.  I promised myself I would never be a coward again.”  She also revealed to Parade Magazine that her marriage to Eric Benet as “really horrific”.    Berry also explained that she should have left the marriage sooner but she was putting other people’s needs before hers.

Halle Berry was born in Cleveland Ohio on August 14, 1966.  After Halle’s father walked out on the family, her mom Judith a psychiatric nurse raised her and her sister Heidi.

The Oscar Award winning actress first began her career in the entertainment industry as a Beauty Pageant Contestant.  Winning the crown and title of Miss Teen All American, Miss USA (first runner-up) and Miss World.  She continued her education studying broadcast journalism but decided to leave college and pursue the glamorous life of show business.  Halle studied acting and started working as a model.  She auditioned for Charlie’s Angels.  Unfortunately she did not receive the role but Aaron Spelling thought she was very talented and quite beautiful so he encouraged her to pursue her dream of stardom and then her big break came.  In 1991 famous Director Spike Lee decided to cast Halle as a drug addict in his new and controversial movie “Jungle Fever”.  Gorgeous perfectionist Halle was so determined to prove that she could deliver her role so precisely that she actually interviewed addicts and stopped bathing for 10 days before the movie went into filming.  Top roles started streaming in and Halle was marvelous in all of them.  My favorite and I am sure it is one of hers is “Introducing Dorothy Dandridge” which she won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV movie.  In 2002 the beautiful Ms. Halle Berry won an Oscar for Best Actress in “Monster’s Ball” which established her as A-list movie star.  She marked history as being the first African American woman to receive an Academy Award as Best Actress.  She continues to act in superior movies and is respected by her peers.  Although it was tough for Halle in Hollywood in the beginning she prevailed and embraced her fame with poise and grace enabling her as one of the brightest stars in the industry. 

Love you Halle darling and all you Halle fans out there don’t forget to get The Sunday edition of Parade Magazine in this Sunday’s Post.
