Halle Berry says she thinks she's 'ugly'

Knight Ridder ^

[Pokey78]

Halle Berry solidified her place as one of the world's sexiest women with her role as Bond girl Jinx in "Die Another Day."

But the Oscar-winning actress (Monster's Ball) says she still doesn't see herself as a beautiful star.

"To be totally honest, most of the time I think I'm ugly," she told the German magazine Journal fur die Frau. "I see myself without makeup every morning and that's why I don't have illusions anymore. I certainly don't feel like a big star."

Berry added that being black still hinders her progress in Hollywood.

"For many film studios and directors skin color remains a problem. They don't believe that the audience will accept a black actor in the main role. These narrow-minded people underestimate the public and prevent advancement in the industry."

Berry's next film will be "X-2," the sequel to "X-Men" slated for a May 2 release.

Suppose you met both of them at a party? :D

[Delta 21]

I like it!

[fish hawk]

inspite of all of our opinions, dont you think she would know better than us? Maybe she is looking on the inside.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Some women would look good if they were green

I'd have to agree with you.

Fact is MOST black Americans are mixed race just like most whites are a mix of many races.We are all Americans and I wish we could all just be happy with that.

Pffft, Yeah! Easy for you to say! HAR!

You don't have to put up with racial discrimination on a daily basis from the Racist Liberals who run Hollywo...

Hey, wait a minute..

I know LOTS of black people (with two black parents) who are lighter-skinned than Halle, so what are you talking about? And back when people used the term "negro" she certainly would have qualified as one, since under Jim Crow any drop of black blood made you black period.

Captain Kirk nailed her, you know...

[F16Fighter]

"IMDB lists her in 27 movies, 4 TV series plus about a dozen notable guest spots on TV shows.

Yeah, her being black AND ugly certainly has "hindered" Berry's career...

Maybe ex-hubby baseball player David Justice knew something the rest of us are just now beginning to realize: Halle Berry is a delusional nut-job!

"She doesn't look like a negro at all."

she does to me.

but your other points are valid. her race has nothing to do with her success. there are plenty of black super stars. this girl is one of the most popular actresses in H-wood right now, i think she's just being insecure.

I lived the real story sort of. My mother was calling to adopt a child. She wanted to adopt a mixed race or white child because my father is white, and those kind of children would fit right in with my sister and I. Before she said she was black hispanic and my father was white, they offered to give her a black baby but quickly changed their minds when they found out that my father was white. The guy hung up on my mother.

Too bad... sucks to be raised by a white father... private schools, good home, nice mom, happy childhood.

I had to look Sharon Tay up.

She fit right in on Fox News!

Halle is pretty but uninteresting and boring. Just my two cents.

[nmh]

I agree with her on the ugly comment but being black doesn't hold anyone back. Besides she is 1/2 white.

She is, so she'll just have to date me until she feels better about herself.

Reparations apparently has the same criteria

[dagoofyfoot]

I do feel sorry for her as she had a very hard life


If you want to really feel sorry for some one, let me send you my name and address.


With flawless good looks and a fat bank account, I feel several things for Halle Berry, (Attraction, envious, etc...) but sorry is not one of them
