time she won the Miss Teen All-American parade, on behalf of the state of Ohio in 1985 and, a year later in 1986,

TV series, 1989's Living Dolls (1989), where she soon gained a standing for her
on-set tenacity, preferring to "live" her roles and residual in
nature even when the cameras stopped rolling. It paid off though when she

that Murphy was consistently coordinated on screen. In 1994, Berry gained a young following for her
presentation as sexy secretary "Sharon Stone" in The Flintstones (1994).
She next had a highly exposed costarring role withJessica Lange in the
acceptance play Losing Isaiah (1995). Though the movie conventional mixed
reviews, Berry didn't let that slow her down and sustained down her trail
to super-stardom. In 1998, she conventional critical success when she starred
as a street smart youthful woman who takes up with a struggling official in
Warren Beatty's Bulworth(1998). The following year, she won even better acclaim
for her role as actress Dorothy Dandridge in made-for-cable's Introducing
Dorothy Dandridge (1999), for which she won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in
a TV Movie/Mini-Series. In 2000, she conventional box office achievement in X-Men
(2000) in which she played "Storm", a misshapen who has the aptitude
