SOME are household names who turn up every year and who are still mysteries in broad open daylight. Some made their big breakthrough for the first time in 2002. Some are on their way up, throwing off sparks, while others have floated in and out of our consciousness because their names and their stories strike deep chords in our memory. But all, whatever their situation, are intriguing in the dictionary sense of arousing interest or curiosity because of unusual, new, or otherwise fascinating qualities. And every one of the 57, especially the heroes of the 9/11 disaster, made the year 2002--EBONY'S 57th anniversary--a landmark year.
HALLE BERRY
THE year 2002 undoubtedly was the biggest year in the life of Halle Berry. One of the most unforgettable images of the year is that of the actress weeping and shouting and giving thanks while accepting the Academy Award for her outstanding performance in the controversial movie Monster's Ball. She is the first Black woman to win the best actress Oscar.
