Halle Berry felt the ‘Oscar curse’ after her historic 2002 win
Fox News
Not even Halle Berry could escape the Oscar curse. In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Berry reveals “it was surprising” that more movie roles did not immediately pour in after her historic Oscar win in 2002 for her role in Lee Daniels’ “Monster’s Ball.”
"When you have a historic win like that, you think, ‘Oh, this is going to fundamentally change.’ It did fundamentally change me, but it did not change my place in the business overnight. I still had to go back to work. I still had to try to fight to make a way out of no way," she said in an interview for the magazine’s September cover. Berry made history nearly 20 years ago when she became the first black woman to win for Best Lead Actress at the Academy Awards. Berry appeared in a string of flops after the win, including 2004’s "Catwoman," which earned her four Razzie Awards.More Related News
