11 Halle Berry

Despite having appeared in some questionable movies in her early days, such as 1991’s Strictly Business and 1993’s Father Hood, Halle Berry has emerged as one of the biggest movie stars in the world. And though Halle’s first few attempts at establishing herself as a serious actress fell flat, all that changed once she accepted the title role in the TV movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999). She won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her work, and soon found herself being asked to appear in such high-profile films as 2000’s X-Men (and its sequels), 2001’s Monster’s Ball (for which she won an Oscar) and 2002’s James Bond adventure Die Another Day.

Halle Berry has been a permanent fixture on this list over the years; she peaked at No. 3 in 2002, and held the No. 19 spot in 2006. She continues to take on challenging roles that, more often than not, wind up raising eyebrows and winning her legions of new fans. Halle’s sole cinematic appearance for the year was in X-Men: The Last Stand, in which she reprised the role of Storm for the third and possibly final time. 2006 also marked the beginning of a new relationship for Halle, as the actress began dating a Canadian supermodel named Gabriel Aubry.

Halle Berry has two intriguing yet vastly different movies scheduled for release in 2007. In the erotic thriller Perfect Stranger, Halle plays a woman who finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery, and pits the actress opposite folks like Bruce Willis and Giovanni Ribisi. Halle will follow that up with Things We Lost in the Fire, a hard-hitting drama costarring Benicio Del Toro, Alison Lohman and David Duchovny.
