BERRY: 'SKIN COLOUR STILL A PROBLEM IN HOLLYWOOD'

Actress HALLE BERRY is frustrated she still has to convince movie bosses of her acting ability because of her skin colour.

Halle Berry outside the Ed Sullivan Theatre for the 'Late Show With David Letterman'. New York City, USA - 08.10.07

The 41-year-old is the only woman of African American descent to have won an Oscar for Best Actress - but Berry admits race barriers still exist in Hollywood.

She says, "It doesn't matter that I have an Oscar, an Emmy, a Golden Globe and a Silver (Berlin) Bear.

"I shouldn't have had to try so hard to be considered. I should have to stop convincing studios I am right for it - it should be on my acting merit."
