She
was an adorable child, grew up to be a beauty contest
winner and is currently Revlons ravishing spokeswoman.
Halles greatest achievement has been proving time and
time again, that she has the talent and the brains to
be more than just a beautiful face!
She is of
mixed-race background and this was an issue that plagued
her. She had to deal with the taunts of other children,
black and white. Also, because of her beauty, she received
a lot of resentment. In high school, she was chosen
queen of the prom but was accused of stuffing the ballot
box. The uproar was handled with a frustrating transparent
solution: Halle was forced to share the title-with a
white blonde girl
Her first
major film role came with The Last Boy Scout (1991)
and would star in a series of mostly light-hearted popcorn
films, like Boomerang (1992), The Program (1993) and
Fatherhood (1993). Her later portrayal of a crack addict
in Spike Lee's Jungle Fever (1992) won her critical
acclaim, and she proved herself an effective dramatic
lead opposite Jessica Lange in the heat-lugging drama
Losing Isaiah (1993). Both films dealt with the kinds
of racial insults Halle has dealt with her whole life.
