Halle Berry was honored at the "Hollywood Reporter's" 18th Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast yesterday. The big screen heavy hitter received the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award. As the first African American woman to receive a Best Actress Oscar, in 2001, Berry is a leader in her industry. As a spokesperson for the Jenesse Center, Berry also speaks out against domestic violence.
THR's Editor-in-Chief Elizabeth Guider applauded Berry not only for her acting chops but also for her work in advancing the causes of minorities. Guider also recognized the importance of Halle taking home the award, presented by Lifetime, in this historic year for diversity in the United States.
