Her early life and career beginnings
Halle was born Maria Halle Berry to an American father and English mother. Her mother, a white English immigrant, was a psychiatric nurse. Her father, Jerome Jessy Berry, an African-American man, was an attendant in the psychiatric ward of the same hospital but later became a bus driver.
The mother raised Halle when she was four and her older sister, Heidi, after a divorce from their abusive father. They are estranged from their father.
She grew up in Oakwood, Ohio, and was a hands-on student of Bedford High School, where she participated in several extracurricular activities. She also attended Cuyahoga Community College.
She kicked off her career in pageantry and modeled in several beauty contests winning Miss Teen All American in 1995 and Miss Ohio USA in 1986. She emerged first runner-up in the Miss USA pageant and came 6th in the Miss World in 1986.
Halle Berry always nursed the dream to become an entertainer, and in 1989, she moved to New York City to pursue her acting ambitions. She ran out of money and lived in a homeless shelter until her living conditions improved that year.
She was cast in the ABC television series Living Dolls and moved to Los Angeles after being canceled.
