As well as being a Bond girl and winning a best actress Oscar for her role in Monster’s Ball, Halle Berry has been in more beauty pageants than we’ve had hot dinners. At just 18 years old she won the Miss Teen Ohio pageant, and later that year was named Miss Teen All-American. Then, in 1986 she was crowned Miss Ohio and was the first runner-up in the Miss USA pageants. She went on to become the first African American to represent the United States in the Miss World pageant, before taking a turn at acting.
