| The leading ladies of the new movie 'Catwoman,'
Sharon Stone, left, and Halle Berry arrive for the European
premiere of their film, in London Tuesday Aug. 3, 2004.
(AP) | It's not easy being gorgeous. Halle Berry should know. "Beauty?
Let me tell you something - being thought of as a beautiful woman has
spared me nothing in life,"
she said. "No heartache, no trouble. Love has been difficult. Beauty is
essentially meaningless and it is always transitory ."
At a news conference to promote her new movie, "Catwoman," the
35-year-old Berry criticized the obsession with beauty and youth that she
said prompted some to get plastic
surgery .
"Personally, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of
that," said Berry, who won an Oscar for "Monster's Ball."
"There is this plastic, copycat look evolving and that's frightening
to me. ... It's really insane
and I feel sad that's what society is doing to women."
"Catwoman" co-star Sharon Stone said she and Berry, who have both
recently split with their husbands, found while working together that they
had a lot in common.
"In life it's not important how you fall, but how you get up," she
said. "I think both of us have fallen in public and both gotten up in
public. Neither of us have tried to pretend we're perfect."
