Halle Berry Opens Up About Her Fight Against Ageism in Hollywood on Her Birthday

Halle Berry turns 60 today, but the milestone is about much more than a birthday. The Oscar-winning actress is using this moment to speak openly about Hollywood ageism, menopause, women’s health and why she refuses to be erased as she enters what she calls her second act. Once celebrated primarily as a Hollywood beauty icon and sex symbol, Halle Berry is now turning her platform toward midlife wellness, menopause advocacy and the way older women are treated in the entertainment industry. From her historic Oscar win to her recent women’s health work with Respin, Nella and Joylux, Berry’s next chapter is focused on visibility, power and changing the conversation around aging. This video looks at how Halle Berry went from being defined by Hollywood’s gaze to challenging the industry’s limits on women over 50 and 60.
