Halle Berry: Miss World
built 199 days ago
By the time Halle Berry reached high school, she was a cheerleader, an honor society member, editor of the school paper, and class president. Not surprisingly, she was crowned her high school's prom queen. In 1983, when she was only 17 years old, Halle's then-boyfriend entered her name in the Miss Teen Ohio beauty pageant. Once again, it's no surprise that Halle Berry got to wear the crown in that competition.

From the time she was in grade school, Berry wanted to be an actress. She related to Laurie Werner in USA Weekend, "I would imitate scenes from The Wizard of Oz. I even had the right dog." A cheerleader, Berry ... became prom queen and class president during her high school years. When she was 17 years old, Berry was surprised to learn one of her high school boyfriends had entered her name in the Miss Teen Ohio beauty pageant. Winning the title, she then entered a succession of other pageants, including Miss World, in which she won the dress competition. Berry was also named first runner-up in the Miss USA competition after her selection as Miss Ohio in 1985.

There was no sense in Halle Berry having to research the world of online chatting when she signed up to do the new thriller "Perfect Stranger." She had already been there and done that -- and knew that she didn't want to go back there again.
