No crying over spilled milk... Halle made fortune from Catwoman

-

THE 2004 movie Catwoman starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone was a huge box office flop.

But Halle said at the Matrix Awards that she doesn’t regret making the movie because she earned ‘a s***load of money’ from it.

The actress, who is 51, said the money she got for playing the DC Comics character, pictured, changed her life and also taught her some valuable lessons.

Halle was honoured in New York by the New York Women in Communicat­ions, a non-profit, networking organisati­on for women in communicat­ions.

In a speech at the event, as reported by E!, she explained that Catwoman ‘wasn’t a failure for me.’

I met so many interestin­g people that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. I got to learn two forms of martial arts and I got to learn what not to do, and learning what not to do is as important as learning what to do,’ she said.

She added: ‘And I got that gift, and I got a s***load of money that changed my life.’ Meanwhile, it’s reported that Halle is set to star in a remake of the 1985 thriller Jagged Edge. The original starred Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges with Bridges playing a wealthy publisher accused of murdering his wife.

Glenn played the attorney he hired to defend him and the two embark on a passionate affair as his case winds through a trial.

Robert Loggia played a private detective assigned to learning the truth about what really happened as Close becomes convinced of her client’s innocence.
