How did Halle Berry become such a big star in the first place?

She do look like several of my female family members, to be such a sellout...lol. I was in town last week. I still got some bad cousins, and none of them ever showed up with a White boy.

Who was going to play a better Storm nikka:comeon:
Literally any other black actress. Look around the net and the general consensus is Angela Bassett...Do you even know the character of Storm? A strong African fighter and leader

1. Halle didn't have an accent. She tried in the first movie, and it was so laughable and bad they just said forget it for the rest of the series
2. Nothing about Halle as an actress projects fighter or strong leader. She don't command no respect as Ororo really should.

she was gorgeous and in some really popular movies. It ain't uncommon . Paula Patton can't act at all either. Halle got better and had some legit roles like in New Jack City and Losing Isaiah that showed her as a legit actress.

Paula Patton is god awful as well and she is not even that cute

Halle didn't bathe for a week while filming Jungle Fever. She said she really wanted to get into her crack-queen character. I thought about this when Lupita chose to be stripped butt naked on open camera (meaning the whole production crew was able to watch) in "Seven Days a Slave". She too said she wanted to get into her character, and defiled herself by letting everbody watch her totally nude, as though she were a real slave. I didn't agree with her on that, even though that scene probably boosted her career as well. I don't see why so many people have trouble admitting that. To be honest, you have to be a little sick in the head to even enjoy watching that scene. Today, I guess Pam Grier would have darn near gotten an Oscar, with all those nudity and rape scenes she use to do with those White men. Only difference there was, she was killing those White men before those movies ended. I guess that made her a shero back in the day. I still remember seeing those big titties for the first time in that shower scene doing "Friday Foster" when I was in junior high. I almost wanted to bite those soap covered watermelons.

For some reason, I always felt like I could have spanked Halle Berry in real life, even back when she first started. Maybe because she looked a little like an ole girlfriend, and the mother of my daughter. If I gotten her pregnant instead, I'd be super rich, instead of that White boy. But then again, I don't think I would have robbed her like that. Brothers in my generation didn't believe in that. I know I said Halle looked a little like some female family members, but not that d*** much...don't be foolish. I can say the same for Pam Grier. It's just that we have a lot of admixture in our family. To a lot of us, Asians look alike. I hope we don't view them as male relatives sleeping with their female relatives, because we think they look a like. Again, let's not be foolish. Unfortunately, I've only heard certain Black people on the internet apply that stupidly to members of their own race.

But when it comes to racism, I know one thing, Marilyn Monroe would have been reduced to a waitress if she ever did a butt naked scene, or had anal sex with a Black male actor, whether he was popular or not. Lets just say there never would have been a Marilyn Monroe period. I do remember Rachel Welch and Jim Brown in bed. But that was Jim Brown, not a Jaleel White, who never even became Steve Urkel. Then again, you can't even compare the Jim Brown and Rachel Welch love scene. Rachel Welch showed no nudity. I have to laugh at people who try to compare her scene with Halley Berry's soft porn scene in "Monsters Ball". What kinda of title was "Monsters Ball" anyway. You saw some balls alright...lol.
