With a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an Oscar on her mantelpiece and a whole host of film projects ahead of her, life is good right now for Halle Berry. The former Miss Ohio turned Oscar-winner was on top form when we met up with her to talk about her new film Perfect Stranger, which is in cinemas now.

Forget her troubled past and divorce heartache: Halle's positively glowing these days and has put her problems well and truly behind her. She opens up to us about her longing for a baby, her battle to get where she is today and her struggle for recognition. Halle's path to fame has been far from smooth, and neither has her love life, but at 40 she says she's happier than she's ever been. Read all about Halle's path to stardom here.
