12. Halle Berry – Monster’s Ball (2001)
While most people recognize Berry as Storm from the X-Men films, Halle has had a long and moderately successful film career, showcasing her talents in films like Bulworth and Monster’s Ball, and showcasing her sexiness in movies like The Flintstones (seriously) and Catwoman. Able to work both seriously and with tongue firmly in cheek, Berry’s career has certainly had its share of highs and lows. Her career high came when she won the Best Actress Oscar for Monster’s Ball, becoming the first and only black actress to do so.
Fun Fact: Halle was so committed to her first film role as a crack addict in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever, she refused to bathe for several days.
