Halle Berry’s near-death experience ‘changed her life’
By ANITuesday, August 31, 2010
NEW YORK - Halle Berry wouldn’t have been the woman we know her to be had it not been for her fateful accident in 1997.
Whenever she can, Berry works at the Jenesse Center, an LA charity that helps battered women and their children make a fresh start.
Berry revealed at a lunch Sunday at the East Hampton house of Revlon mogul Ronald Perelman that she began working at the centre 13 years ago after she was sentenced to 250 hours of community service for leaving the scene of the accident - even though she had amnesia and needed 17 stitches in her forehead.
“It changed my life. I hadn’t been doing enough. It was time,” The New York Post quoted Berry as telling the Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Rep. Carolyn Maloney, Tamara Mellon, Amanda Cutter, Dave Zinczenko and Ed Lewis. (ANI)
