Halle Berry is nothing if not living Black history.

In 2001, she made Oscars history when she became the first — and, to date, the only — Black woman to ever win the Academy Award for Best Actress. She was also one of the top-paid actresses of the 2000s, one of the top runners-up in the Miss USA and Miss World pageants, and dated a bevy of hot celebrity men.

Not bad for a woman from humble beginnings in Cleveland, OH!

But Halle Berry hasn’t always had it easy. Estranged from her father since she was a child, Berry was also the victim of domestic abuse from past partners, and the abuse was so severe that it left her hearing permanently compromised. Unfortunately, too, Berry seemed to be reliving her own childhood in her own relationships: before her father and mother divorced, she recalled him being very abusive.

“I wasn’t married to a man that beat me up, but my mother was,” she said to TVGuide, recalling that her mother would get kicked, pushed down the stairs, and even hit in the head with a wine bottle.

If nothing else, though, Halle Berry is a lot more than what happened to her, in the past or present. She is a badass woman, a top-earning actress, an amazing mother, and a gorgeous lady who continues to prove that age is just a number and beauty is timeless. Van Hunt is quite the lucky man!
