There are a lot of divas in Hollywood, but few can top Halle Berry. She certainly knows how to take command of a red carpet in figure-skimming, skin-revealing dresses that consistently make best-dressed lists. She was the first black woman to top “People’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World” list, after all. But beyond her stunning beauty, Halle’s got talent. In another first, she was the first African American to win a Best Actress Oscar for her performance in the movie Monster’s Ball, breaking a barrier that her idol, Dorothy Dandridge, couldn’t more than 50 years before. Seems fitting, since Halle won an Emmy and Golden Globe for her portrayal of the bombshell actress.
