After her Oscar in 2002, Halle Berry felt at the head of the dream factory. But the Oscar curse fell violently over them.
At the beginning of the 2000s, actress Halle Berry (54) celebrated a historic triumph. As the first (and so far only) African American woman, she won an Oscar in the category “Best Actress” in 2002. However, her career did not become a sure-fire success, on the contrary. Berry now admits that she was caught off guard by the Oscar curse. In any case, to her surprise, prestigious role offers from renowned directors did not flutter into her mailboxes.
“I thought they’d take the truck up and pour the offers out in front of my house,” remembers Berry. “When you get such an historic victory, you think, ‘This is going to change everything fundamentally.’ It changed me a lot, but not my place in the film industry overnight. ” Her role in the comic film “Catwoman” is a symbol of this to this day.
From the top to the bottom
Just two years after winning the Oscar, she won another award for it – the Golden Raspberry as “Worst Actress.” But Berry showed a sense of humor and personally accepted the Razzie to thunderous applause from the surprised audience – with her Oscar in the other hand. “That’s exactly what I needed”, “I was at the top and ‘Catwoman’ stomped me in the ground.”
Today Berry can laugh about it more than ever. With the drama “Bruised”, which will be released on November 24th on Netflix, she celebrates her eagerly awaited directorial debut. In addition, at the age of 54, she plays the demanding lead role as MMA fighter Jackie Justice, who gets into the ring again.
