Halle Berry-Actress Hot Wallpapers

Halle Berry
Biography & Wallpapers

Date of Birth -14 August 1966, Cleveland, Ohio, USA
Birth Name -Halle Maria Berry
Height -5' 6" (1.68 m)
Awards: 1 Oscar, 1 Emmy, 1 Golden Globe

Halle Berry was born on August 14, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA to African American father Jerome Berry, a former hospital attendant, and Caucasian mother Judith Berry, a retired psychiatric nurse. Halle also has an older sister named Heidi Berry. Halle first came into the spotlight at 17 years old when she won the Miss Teen All-American Pageant, representing the state of Ohio in 1985 and, a year later in 1986, when she was the first runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant. After participating in the pageant, Halle became a model. It eventually led to her first weekly TV series, 1989's "Living Dolls" (1989), where she soon gained a reputation for her on-set tenacity, preferring to "live" her roles and remaining in character even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off though when she reportedly refused to bathe for several days before starting work on her role as a crack addict in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1991) because the role provided her big screen breakthrough. The following year, she was cast as Eddie Murphy's love interest in Boomerang (1992), one of the few times that Murphy was evenly matched on screen. In 1994, Berry gained a youthful following for her performance as sexy secretary "Sharon Stone" in The Flintstones (1994). She next had a highly publicized costarring role with Jessica Lange in the adoption drama Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie received mixed reviews, Berry didn't let that slow her down, and continued down her path to super-stardom. In 1998, she received critical success when she starred as a street smart young woman who takes up with a struggling politician in Warren Beatty's Bulworth (1998). The following year, she won even greater acclaim for her role as actress Dorothy Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999) (TV), for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In 2000, she received box office success in X-Men (2000) in which she played "Storm", a mutant who has the ability to control the weather.

Olivia Wilde-Actress Hot Wallpapers

Olivia Wilde
and Her Marchesa Dress

Some hot fashion trends made their way to the Emmy Awards Sunday night but stars played it mostly safe with few knockout looks.

Marchesa actually had a trifecta of successes. Other than Klum, escorted by husband Seal, the label put
Sandra Oh in a gleaming gold strapless gown with rope belt and Olivia Wilde in a ripped-from-the-runway, embroidered tulle gown

The gown worn by Wilde created the illusion of being a one-shoulder number but it was just one of several strategically placed sheer panels.

Olivia Wilde stepped it up and made a bold statement
in her Marchesa," celebrity stylist Mary Alice Stephenson said. "I love that she took a chance and went for it."

Others who chose one-shoulder gowns included Elisabeth Moss in a bronze creation by Reem Acra with a heavily embellished neckline and Sigorney Weaver in a red David Meister. Hayden Panettiere was a retro glamour girl in a red draped J. Mendel that matched her bright red lips.

telling an audience it's important to teach kids family values.

standing in the headline-grabbing pageant on the Las Vegas Strip. "I
want to give my parents a big hug; she said at a news conference after
the pageant. There was a lot of effort and a lot of sacrifice.

competition. Before that, she smiled in a violet bikini as she confidently strutted across the stage.

Asked by Olympic gold-medal figure skater Evan Lysacek how she felt about unsupervised Internet use, Navarrete said the Internet is important but parents need to be careful and watch over their kids.

Nickname- Em
Height- 5' 6" (1.68 m)

Mini Biography
Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in Paris, France to parents, Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson. At the age of five, Emma's parents divorced and she then moved to Oxfordshire, England with her mother and younger brother, Alexander. Since the divorce, Emma's extended family has grown as her parents both have new partners. Her father has a son named Toby, and identical twin daughters, Nina and Lucy, and her mother's partner has two sons. Emma now resides in England with her mother, younger brother, and her two stepbrothers.
Why Is She Famous?
Emma Watson has achieved worldwide fame as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie series. "I could be 100 years old and in my rocker,” she says, “but I'll still be very proud that I was part of the Harry Potter films." Although the actress wants to concentrate on school now that she's done filming the Potter series, you can see her in Burberry's 2009 Fall/Winter campaign.
Success
Emma Watson hasn't worked on very many projects outside of the Harry Potter franchise, but that hasn't hurt her bank account. She continuously makes appearances on magazine lists dedicated to the richest young stars, including coming in at No. 6 on the Forbes' list of "Most Valuable Young Stars." The Harry Potter films have given Emma a comfy financial cushion of over £10 million, meaning she can attend university this fall student-loan free. “Let’s be honest," says Emma. "I have enough money never to have to work again, but I would never want that. Learning keeps me motivated.” We definitely admire her frankness.
