1. Halle Berry
Before she dazzled the world with her performance in Monster’s Ball, Halle Berry faced serious hardships. After moving to New York to pursue acting, she quickly ran out of money. With no savings and limited support, she spent time in a homeless shelter.
Her mother offered to help, but Berry declined, determined to make it on her own. That self-reliance and persistence pushed her through. Today, she’s a trailblazing actress and a symbol of determination.
