UPCOMING PROJECTS X-Men: The Last Stand May 26 When a cure is found to treat mutations, lines are drawn amongst the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), and the Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen). Perfect Stranger (2006) As she goes undercover to crack the case of her friend's murder, a woman (Berry) gets caught up in the world of obsessive love online. CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Jungle Fever (1991) Playing the role of crack addict Vivian in this Spike Lee-directed film was Berry's first major break. She quickly gained a reputation for "living out" her characters and for her tenacity on set. Introducing Dorothy Dandridge (1999) Berry's performance was stunning in this biopic about the '50s black actress who endured cruel racist behavior, despite her star status. The part earned Berry a Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a Mini-Series. Monster's Ball (2001) Berry's turn as Leticia Musgrove in this critically acclaimed film about a racist prison guard who falls in love with an African American woman, made history. She became the first ever African American to win a Best Actress Oscar.
