The famous 50-year-old actress Halle Berry, who starred in the films "Catwoman" and "Monster Ball", is now engaged in the advertising campaign of the "Abduction" tape. That's why Holly was invited to the People magazine studio, where she had a frank conversation with the editor-in-chief of the publication Jace Cagle. In the interview, not only issues related to the new tape were touched, but also complex moments from the celebrity's childhood.
Holly grew up in a mixed family
Her interview about personal life and memories of childhood years, Berry began by telling what it means to live in a mixed family. That's what the actress said:
"Probably, many people know that my parents have different skin color. My mother was fair-skinned, and my father was dark-skinned. For some reason, parents at the very beginning of me and my sister decided to give up to school, where black-skinned children got knowledge. However, this was not the best educational institution, and when my mother found out about the conditions under which we had to study, she was horrified. At school there was a lot of violence and children from disadvantaged families. That's why Mom insisted that we be transferred to another school. As a result, we ended up in an educational institution where some Caucasian people lived. We were the only children in the school with dark skin color. "

Holly was called "Oreo"
After that, Berry said that it was the color of the skin that caused many problems in childhood with their peers. That's what Holly said:
"You have no idea what we felt when we ended up at a school where only light-skinned children learn. They poked at us with their fingers, calling them "Oreo", and we were discussed, and it was done very openly. At first I could not stay in classes at all, because I felt like I was some kind of an outcast. Over time, I began to understand that children accept me and my sister for second-rate people. And this is only because we differed from them in skin color. It was then that I decided that I needed to achieve great heights in my life, to bypass them all, and then I too will become the same as they are - good. I think that this very thought has been leading me all my life. It was thanks to the fact that I was a kind of an outcast in school, and I achieved a lot in my life. "
Recall, Berry first in the history of dark-skinned star of the screen, which won an Oscar for performing the main role in the movie "The Ball of Monsters." This happened in 2002. In addition, Holly has many more awards. The actress can boast of a victory in the Guild of US Actors Prize, the presence of a statuette of the Golden Globe, the award from the National Council of Film Critics USA and many others. Despite this, Berry also has a statuette that can hardly be proud of. Award from the "Golden Raspberry" Holly received in 2005 for the main role in the tape "Catwoman." The most interesting is that despite the negative reviews of film critics, the viewer liked the picture.
