| Halle Berry |
|
Halle Berry was born in Ohio in 1968 and developed an interest in showbusiness after appearing in a number of beauty pageants, including Miss USA. After becoming a model, Berry got her first acting job in the TV series Living Dolls, before Spike Lee gave Halle her big break in Jungle Fever, in which she played a crack addict. She then appeared in a number of films, including Boomerang, The Flintstones and Losing Isaiah in 1995 opposite Jessica Lange. Berry received critical acclaim for her performance in Warren Beatty's political satire Bulworth, before taking the role of Storm in Bryan Singer's hit X-Men. This has been a huge year for Halle Berry, she made Oscar history by winning the Best Actress Award for Monster's Ball; the first African American to do so. |

| Harrison Ford |
|
If you hear a spot of midnight banging at Harrison Ford's ranch, the chances are that it is actually carpentry. The most famous carpenter since Joseph, Harrison Ford was born in Chicago in 1942. He signed with Columbia and then Universal, playing bit parts in TV series such as Ironside, before taking a disheartened break to go back to woodwork. On his return to Hollywood he starred in American Graffiti before Han Solo propelled him into space. Capitalising on Tom Selleck's contractual unavailability, he consolidated his A-list status with Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and then won an Oscar nomination for Witness. |

| Harvey Keitel |
|
Born in Brooklyn in 1939, Keitel had a difficult childhood. He stuttered, was thrown out of school for truancy, joined the Marines at 16 and when he quit, sold shoes to earn a crust. He studied The Method with Lee Strasberg and at 26 answered an ad placed by student director Martin Scorsese for the latter's Who's That Knocking At My Door? He went on to appear in Marty's first three films and was famously replaced by Martin Sheen on Coppola's Apocalypse Now. As befits someone of Keitel's intensity and passion, his favourite film is The Sound Of Music. Oscar nominated for his role in Bugsy (1991). |

| Hugh Grant |
|
Born in London in 1960, Hugh Grant became famous for his floppy hair, stumbling speech and posh girlfriend Liz Hurley. The star of the 1994 "Brit Hit", Four Weddings And A Funeral, playing a bumbling Englishman chasing an American, Grant had a tougher time in Hollywood. After appearing in a series of star vehicles such as Nine Months, Extreme Measures and Mickey Blue Eyes, he achieved real fame in America when he was arrested for lewd conduct in the Divine Brown incident. Grant re-established himself in the 1999 hit, Notting Hill, playing a bumbling Englishman chasing an American, this time alongside Julia Roberts, and has now decided that British success is best after starring in Bridget Jones' Diary and About a Boy. |
