Berry merupakan artis berdarah Afro-Amerika (ayah) dan Kaukasian (ibu). Saat remaja Berry pernah menjadi runner up dalam kontes kecantikan terbesar di Amerika, Miss USA pada tahun 1986.

Berry berpacaran dengan Gabriel Aubry, seorang model asal Kanada berdarah Perancis. Pada tanggal 16 Maret 2008 Berry melahirkan putri pertama mereka, Nahla Ariela Aubry.

Aubry Tuduh Halle Berry Memfitnah

SEBAGAI ayah, Gabriel Aubry tak akan menyerah begitu saja untuk memperjuangkan hak asuh atas putrinya, Nahla. Model berusia 35 tahun itu, saat ini berebut perwalian dengan aktris Halle Berry, mantan kekasih sekaligus ibu dari anaknya.

Sehari setelah Berry mengumumkan hengkang dari film untuk fokus terhadap masalah perwalian Nahla, juru bicara Aubry merilis sebuah pernyataan atas namanya.

''Meski pun Gabriel merasa kecewa atas keputusan Halle untuk memfitnahnya di hadapan publik untuk tujuannya sendiri, dia menolak ditarik ke dalam sengketa atas sebuah produksi film yang dibatalkan. Gabriel juga menolak mengangkat isu tersebut ke media massa, karena dia percaya hal ini akhirnya dapat membahayakan putri mereka. Faktanya adalah Gabriel merupakan seorang ayah yang peduli dan ingin berbagi hak asuh atas Nahla,'' bunyi pernyataan tersebut seperti dikutip situs usmagazine.com.

''Gabriel sepenuhnya percaya bahwa situasi kehidupan yang konsisten dan seimbang, serta dua orang tua penyayang sangat penting bagi anak mereka, meski pun jika Ms. Berry merasa sebaliknya. Dia akan selalu membela hak-haknya sebagai seorang ayah dan akan selalu mempertimbangkan kepentingan terbaik Nahla. Tuduhan Halle yang terus-menerus di media massa adalah tidak benar dan tidak bertanggung jawab.''

Sebelumnya, juru bicara aktris pemenang Oscar berusia 44 tahun itu mengatakan, Berry telah berusaha menyelesaikan masalah ini secara damai dengan ayah putrinya. ''Tapi, mengingat kurangnya kerja sama yang ditunjukkan, Halle tidak memiliki pilihan lain kecuali secepatnya mencari intervensi peradilan.''

Beberapa waktu sebelum ini, kedua mantan kekasih itu tampak damai menjadi orang tua atas Nahla, pascaperpisahan mereka pada April 2010. Tetapi, pada 30 Desember 2010 Aubry meminta pengadilan untuk secara resmi mengakuinya sebagai ayah Nahla dan meminta perwalian bersama.

''Halle selalu memprioritaskan kebutuhan dan keselamatan putrinya di urutan pertama. Halle hanya bertindak demi kepentingan terbaik putrinya,'' tegas juru bicara mantan gadis Bond itu.

"Menurutku difoto atau akting bisa kita lakukan jika kita tidak takut mengetahui siapa diri kita sebenarnya," ucap perempuan yang juga pernah berpose bugil saat hamil itu.

Additional Broadway credits for Henner include Over Here!, with Travolta, revivals of Pal Joey, Chicago, Social Security, and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife. Her first film appearance was in the 1977 sleeper-hit, Between the Lines, co-starring then-unknowns Jeff Goldblum, Lindsay Crouse, John Heard, and Jill Eikenberry.
Henner came to national prominence with the role of Elaine Nardo in the situation comedy Taxi. She was the leading lady in the 1984 film Johnny Dangerously, playing love interest to Michael Keaton.

She leads monthly classes on her website, www.marilu.com, designed to help people integrate these steps into a healthier, more active lifestyle. Both of her parents died in their 50's, which prompted her to lead a more healthy lifestyle.

Henner was a contestant on NBC's first The Celebrity Apprentice, in 2008. She was fired by Donald Trump in the eighth episode, but was brought back to help fellow contestant Trace Adkins in the final task of the show.

Personal Life
In her autobiography, By All Means, Keep on Moving, Henner discussed her romances with actors Travolta and Taxi costars Judd Hirsch and Tony Danza. Her first two marriages, to actor Frederic Forrest and director Robert Lieberman, ended in divorce. She married Michael Brown, a former college classmate, on December 21, 2006 before 100 people in her Los Angeles home. It was the second marriage for Brown, who has three children (Cassia Brown, Carine Brown and Michael Brown). Henner has two children, Nicholas Morgan and Joseph Marlon, from her marriage to Lieberman.
She believes she has hyperthymesia, also called Superior Autobiographical Memory. Although few cases have been officially confirmed, Henner can recall specific information about every day of her life beginning at a young age. On December 19, 2010, CBS's 60 Minutes aired a segment which featured six individuals thought to have this condition, including Henner.

She graduated in 1989 from El Camino High School in Oceanside, California. As a child, she was the "only girl on the baseball team."
Before she was an actress, Richards was signed by the Judith Fontaine Modeling & Talent Agency as a model.[citation needed] She spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in lower-budget films and TV shows such as Saved by the Bell, television movies, and guest starring in episodes of several television shows such as Married with Children (1991), a 5 second walk through. Her first starring role in a wide theatrical release was Starship Troopers in 1997, which was followed by her role in the moderately successful cult film Wild Things in 1998. In 1998, she appeared in the music video for the Blues Traveler song Canadian Rose.
Richards was cast as the nuclear-physicist Christmas Jones in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999). Though she considered her role "brainy", "athletic", and having depth of character, she was criticized as not credible in the role. Her outfit, which often comprised a low-cut tank top and tight shorts, elicited comments. She was ranked as one of the worst Bond girls of all time by Entertainment Weekly in 2008, and was chosen as "Worst Supporting Actress" at the 1999 Razzie Awards for the role.
In addition to her film work, Richards has made appearances in the situation comedies Spin City, Two and a Half Men, Friends and Seinfeld. She also starred in the short-lived UPN series Sex, Love & Secrets in 2005.
Throughout the early 2000s, Richards appeared in several film roles which both parodied and utilized her image as a sex symbol, including Valentine, Undercover Brother and Scary Movie 3.

Personal life
Denise Richards in 1999 at the premiere of The World Is Not Enough
In 2002, Richards married actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she appeared in Good Advice and then Scary Movie 3, in which she played his character's wife who was pinned to a tree in a car accident. They have two daughters, Sam J. Sheen (born March 9, 2004) and Lola Rose Sheen (born June 1, 2005).
In March 2005, Richards filed for a divorce from Sheen. The couple briefly reconciled and were seeking marriage counseling to mend their relationship. However, on January 4, 2006, Richards' representative announced that she was continuing with the divorce, and she later sought a restraining order against Sheen, citing his alleged death threats against her. Richards once dated actor Patrick Muldoon; She has been linked to actor John Stamos, whom she dated during her teenage years.
On April 19, 2006, Richards filed formal legal papers asking for a divorce from Sheen under the laws of the state of California. In her court filing, Richards alleged that Sheen's behavior was increasingly erratic, making their marriage impossible, and that she feared for her safety and the safety of their daughters. Richards claimed that Sheen was physically and verbally abusive and threatened to kill her or have her killed, and that despite having accidentally shot his previous fiancée, Kelly Preston, he wanted to place firearms under their coffee table to protect them. Richards claimed that Sheen had become paranoid and obsessive, citing his belief in 9/11 conspiracy theories, a belief that baby formula caused brain damage, a desire to purchase gas masks, and an "abnormal fascination" with Nicole Simpson's death. Further, Richards alleged that Sheen visited prostitutes and was addicted to gambling, prescription drugs (which he bought over the Internet), and pornography. Richards also alleged that Sheen posted a picture of his erect penis on his online profile of a "sex-search type" website and that he frequently viewed pornography featuring "very young girls," and websites "involving gay pornography also involving very young men who also did not look like adults. Based on these allegations, Richards sought and received a restraining order against Sheen.
Sheen denied the allegations. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he described Richards' actions as a "smear campaign" and insisted that he was a responsible father who would "give his life for his children." He added that Richards is "the only one entirely culpable for putting these radical allegations out for public consumption... my children included."
On November 8, 2006, officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called to the River Rock Casino in Richmond, B.C., where Richards was making a movie. After seeing two photographers taking her picture from a nearby balcony, she confronted them, and threw their two laptop computers over the balcony. One laptop struck an 80-year-old woman in a wheelchair. The other laptop grazed the arm of a 91-year-old woman. Neither woman suffered serious injury, and no charges were pressed against Richards.
On December 1, 2007, it was announced that Richards' mother, Joni, died from cancer.
In 2008, Richards decided to include her two daughters with Charlie Sheen in her confessional reality program on E!, Denise Richards: It's Complicated, which premiered on May 26, 2008. He deemed her plans "greedy, vain and exploitative". On January 25, 2008, Richards won a court case against Sheen so that she can include her daughters in the show. When a judge rejected Sheen's request to block it, Sheen urged fans to boycott it.
An agreement was reached between Sheen and Richards regarding the custody of the children, with Sheen stating in April 2009 that “we had to do what’s best for the girls.
In a May 18, 2008 interview with Larry King on Larry King Live, when asked about her Catholicism, Richards claimed, "I do have faith.
