Who's That Girl? part deux

There were actually two correct guesses yesterday (one in the comments section and the other via Facebook), which I found surprising. Personally, I would never have known who this girl grew up to be if not for the caption under her picture.



Yep, it's Halle Berry! I ask you, how cool is that? Since I hail from the midwest, I know that I saw this back in '84 when it was first published, never realizing that this pretty young girl from a suburb of Cleveland would go on to not only be a Bond girl but also to win the Academy Award for Best Actress (one of only two women in the history of film to do so...can anybody guess who the other one is?). And, yes, it must be admitted that she also won a Razzie for Worst Actress when she starred as Catwoman.

And the really funny thing? I don't think Halle even made it to the finals in the 'Teen Great Model Search. Wonder whatever happened to the girl who actually won the contest?

I feel a book review coming on. Check back in tomorrow for another trip to the virtual bookstore (or public library, if you prefer).
