GLAMOUR Magazine (USA) - May, 2006

Cover and interview with Halle Berry

Halle on her heroes
By Laurie Sandell

She inspired millions when she became the first-ever African American to win a best actress Oscar. Now the "X-Men: The Last Stand" star talks about the women she worships.

Halle Berry, 39, does not crumble under pressure. Sure, there are her successes: a long string of critically acclaimed roles in major movies and a history-making Best Actress Oscar for her role in 2001's Monster's Ball. But Berry's also had her share of public lows: an abusive marriage to baseball star David Justice and a conviction for leaving the scene of a car accident among them. Yet she's made the best of those tough situations. It's a lesson Berry learned early on: As the child of a white mother and an African American father, she endured cruel taunts from her peers at school. When Berry confided in Yvonne Sims, a beloved fifth-grade teacher, Sims started an after-school black studies class and single-handedly began to change the school's environment from one of racial intolerance to acceptance. "She took me in and made me OK with being black," Berry says. For our second annual heroes issue, Glamour sat down with the star to talk about race, feminism and the women who continue to inspire her today.



GLAMOUR: You may have given the most moving Oscar acceptance speech in history when you won for best actress in 2001. Has the film industry changed for women of color?
HALLE BERRY: In the past five years, black women in Hollywood have been inspired and empowered to create roles for ourselves. We're not just saying, "Poor me. Nobody's putting black women into films." We're taking it upon ourselves to make change happen.

GLAMOUR: Glamour recently did a story with the actress Rashida Jones, and she said, "When you're mixed race, you get your heart broken every day." Do you agree?
HB: I get my heart broken every day, but it's not because I'm mixed race—it's because I'm a woman and I wear my heart on my sleeve!

GLAMOUR: Has being famous made you want to stop wearing your heart on your sleeve?
HB: I would love to shout [the details of my life] from the rooftops, because people could learn from my experiences like I learn from theirs. But sometimes when you're too open, people misuse what you say. So I've learned to keep those things to myself. It's not because I want to, but because I have to.

GLAMOUR: One thing you have been open about is your work with a domestic abuse shelter in L.A. How did that come about?
HB: I was in a car accident and got sentenced to 250 hours of community service. So I chose the Jenesse Center. I started out painting the nursery, then realized I had a lot to share with these women, so I started teaching classes. I tell them, "I was hit once too. The difference is I left." Once, I was talking to a woman who was planning to go to a job interview in curlers. I said, "You'll fix your hair first, right?" She said, "No, because I'm going out to a club tonight." Her priorities were all mixed up—so I gently educated her. In there, I'm not "Halle Berry"—we're all just women.

GLAMOUR: As a woman, what's your personal definition of feminism?
HB: For me, it's really about being a woman who is comfortable enough in her own skin to be who she is, to believe authentically what she wants to believe and to have the courage to decide that for herself.

GLAMOUR: In 2005, you were on the cover of Ebony with Jamie Foxx and Denzel Washington, and all three of you wore tuxedos. Why?
HB: We were featured on the cover that month because of our accomplishments as actors. So I wanted to be on par with them: If they were wearing tuxedos, I was going to wear a tuxedo. And if I had to wear a dress—they had to wear dresses too!

GLAMOUR: So, about your heroes—is your mother one?
HB: Of course! I learned my work ethic from her: She's a nurse and has never called in sick. Even if she were dying she'd be putting on that nurse's hat and going to work. She has great moral fiber, too. As a kid, I would come to her with questions and she would say, "I know what you want to do, but what's the right thing to do?"

GLAMOUR: Speaking of tough women, Jinx, your character in the Bond movie Die Another Day, is described as "a female Bond." But she also wears an eye-popping bikini. Any mixed feelings about that?
HB: No, because it fits into my definition of feminism. I can be intellectually solid, politically active and play a strong character without forgetting I'm sexually alive. We shouldn't have to make excuses for walking around with the bodies we have.

GLAMOUR: Now, we know Dorothy Dandridge is one of your Hollywood heroes. Any others?
HB: There's only one other woman whose life I would want to portray: Angela Davis [the former Black Panther and radical civil rights activist]. I tried to produce a movie about her. Everyone said, "She's not very sympathetic." I said, "You can make a sympathetic story out of anyone's life if you get to the heart of why people do things."

Victims' advocate Karen Earl As director of Los Angeles' oldest domestic violence shelter, Jenesse Center (jenesse.org), Karen Earl provides a safe haven for abused women. Berry began volunteering at the center to fulfill a community-service sentence stemming from her car-accident conviction in February 2000—an encounter she now regards as destiny. "I was supposed to find this place but wasn't getting there fast enough, so the universe thrust me there in a painful, humiliating way," she says. "And that's how I met Karen Earl. She has to be the most selfless person I've ever met. Karen doesn't do this to get a pat on the back. She just wants to make a difference for victims of domestic abuse and has been fighting her whole life to do that."


Barrier-bashing feminist Gloria Steinem Writer, activist and Ms. magazine founder Gloria Steinem has mobilized generations of women to redefine what it means to be female. "When I turned 30 and was going through my first divorce, I had the notion that because I wanted a career and motherhood I'd somehow ruined my marriage," says Berry. "But Gloria Steinem's book Revolution From Within: A Book of Self-Esteem totally woke me up. It taught me I have a right to want it all. One of my fantasies is to have lunch with her, so I could tell her how important she's been in helping me realize it's OK to want it all and be totally fulfilled."

Hollywood pioneer Dorothy Dandridge As the first black woman to be nominated for a Best Actress Oscar, fifties-era actress Dorothy Dandridge shattered racial barriers that had existed in Hollywood for decades. "I first saw Dorothy Dandridge in [the 1954 movie] Carmen Jones. I'd never seen such a strong, beautiful woman of color in a film before, and being a little black girl with a white mother, I was always searching for images to relate to. Dorothy didn't win her Oscar, but when I was nominated for mine, I told my mother, 'Either I'm going to repeat history, or I'm going to make it.' I knew I had to finish that business for her. I'm thankful Dorothy was a trailblazer—she made it so much easier for me."

Fearless author Iyanla Vanzant Oprah favorite Iyanla Vanzant has taught millions of women how to transform their lives through her books, including 1996's Faith in the Valley: Lessons for Women on the Journey to Peace. Says Berry: "Iyanla's books are like my bible—they talk right to my soul. One of the biggest lessons I've taken away from Iyanla is to value life's valleys as well as its peaks: When you're stuck in a rut and think life can't get any worse, that's when real learning occurs. So now, when I'm going through a hard time, I step back and think, OK, I'm about to learn something about myself."

THE SKINNY Magazine (UK) - May, 2006

Hugh Jackman

Written by Paul Gallagher


"I love Wolverine... this character is without doubt the foundation of my career"


“Looking back now, there were so many times when this movie could have gone disastrously wrong”, says Hugh Jackman, the 37 year-old Australian who, as the tormented and tempestuous Wolverine, is one of the main reasons why the X Men films have proved so successful. When director Bryan Singer announced he would not be taking another shot at the X story, it was only Jackman’s continued presence that made it seem at all likely that a third instalment could still happen, and more importantly, that it could live up to its predecessors. With director problems now a distant memory, Jackman is confident that ‘X Men: The Last Stand’ is a worthy finale, so much so that he is happy to call the script, which introduces a cure for the mutants, the “best of the three”.

“It cuts into everything that ‘X Men’ is about; yes they are superheroes, but all of them are haunted by it. The question is, if you had the opportunity to get rid of it, would you do it?” And in the tradition of the best comic book plots, Jackman sees a direct correlation with contemporary society: “If you were gay and you had the opportunity not to be, or if you were Jewish or any minority that is discriminated against, would you take it? There’s not a person who wouldn’t think twice about it no matter how strident they were, and it makes for a fascinating story. I thought that idea was brilliant.”

Jackman is tight-lipped on other plot details - “this is the end of a trilogy and there are certain things that have to be resolved” is as much as we get - but confirms that he is satisfied with new director Brett Ratner as a successor to Singer: “Brett said to me, ‘the thing I feel could be better with X Men is the emotions. I want it to be affecting.’ And he was absolutely right. It’s the final piece of the puzzle, it’s a character piece and Brett is a heart guy; all passion. Bryan is a brilliant filmmaker but I would say he is more cerebral.” But it seems that despite this being an end of sorts for the X Men team, Jackman is not quite ready to put away his retractable metal claws for good: “I love playing Wolverine so much that I want to do another movie. I think he is an interesting enough character and mysterious enough that there’s a lot still to be found out about him. And we’re going for it; it will probably be a prequel to the X Men movies, because that is still the most mysterious part of him, the creation of that character.” Exciting news for Wolvo-fans, but it does suggest Jackman is a little unsure of where else he can go outside of this character. So far he has been unable to invest any other roles with even half the impact of his Wolverine portrayal (and the shoddy ‘Van Helsing’ quickly lost him the ‘new Harrison Ford’ tag), and there’s only so much back-story that one man - even a wolf-man - can have. But Jackman makes no bones about the situation; “I love this character and I’m proud of that role and it is without doubt the foundation of my career. Many doors opened for me as a result of playing him.”

As this year goes on, we’ll get a better idea of whether there’s more to Hugh than smouldering and sideburns, with upcoming roles in ‘Scoop’, Woody Allen’s London-set comedy, and two of the year’s most exciting prospects, Darren Aronofsky’s long-gestating ‘The Fountain’ and opposite fellow superhero Christian Bale in Christopher Nolan’s magician-duelling fantasy ‘The Prestige’. If he can find the same inspirational spark that birthed Wolverine and transfer it to these movies, this could be a defining year, and perhaps the beginning of a whole new era for Jackman.

'X Men: The Last Stand' is released May 26
