The 'Strictly Business' actress' rise to fame was a humble beginning, starting in a cramped apartment shared with 15 other girls before eventually winning an Academy Award.

AceShowbiz - Before the spotlight and Oscar glory, Halle Berry was one of 15 girls sleeping on bean bag chairs in a crowded one-bedroom apartment. She had moved to Illinois from Ohio after an invitation to join a modeling agency, but the reality was far from her expectations.

After six months in the cramped quarters, Berry decided to find her own place. While living with a roommate, she stumbled into the world of acting when she took classes at the renowned comedy troupe Second City.

Her break came with "Living Dolls", a spin-off of "Who's the Boss". Though short-lived, it paved the way for her breakthrough role in Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever". Her career soared with roles in "Strictly Business", "Boomerang" and "The Flinstones".

In 1999, Berry's portrayal of Dorothy Dandridge in HBO's "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge" earned her an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and her first Oscar nomination. Two years later, she made history by becoming the only black woman to win Best Actress at the Academy Awards for her performance in "Monster's Ball".

Despite her fame and accolades, Berry remains grounded. She was recently spotted grocery shopping in Beverly Hills, wearing an army green jumpsuit and amber sunglasses. During a recent podcast appearance, she expressed skepticism about an ex-husband's claim of being a sex addict, which was widely assumed to be Eric Benet.

Halle Berry's journey from bean bags to the pinnacle of Hollywood is a testament to her determination and resilience. She has achieved extraordinary success while maintaining her sense of self and connection to her humble roots.
