Chapter 230: Husband and Wife Duo?

Halle Berry, the future "Black Pearl," was only 26 at the time, in the prime of her life. Born from a beauty pageant background, she benefitted from her half-Caucasian heritage which made it easier for her to gain recognition in mainstream society compared to other black actresses. With her decent discernment in selecting roles, she had achieved successes that were unattainable to her peers.

Despite that, her early acting career was still not easy. Apart from minor roles in some TV series, she mostly played parts in the works of more marginalized black directors. Last year's "Boomerang" just barely pushed her into the ranks of second-tier actors and was considered her best role so far.
