The way Holly’s to a prosperous and successful life was not easy: as a child she was constantly watching scenes of domestic violence between father and mother, and later she began to suffer racist attacks from classmates.

The birthday star SPLETNIK.RU decided to recall the most significant chapters of her life: school dreams Holly, her modeling experience the first cast in the movie, tangled personal life and many other things, read new material.
tough childhood: racism and domestic violence

Holly’s Childhood is not happy and cloudless. From early childhood she had witnessed terrible family scenes: in front of the little berry’s father regularly violently beat her mother. These episodes left an imprint on the rest of my life actress — she repeatedly with pain recalled in the interview.
my sister has seen too much and suffered from all that are suffering children growing up in such families… I Have had problems with self-esteem. It happened that I chose the wrong partner. But I fled headlong, as I understand that there is a possibility of domestic violence — was telling Holly about his childhood trauma.
Holly was admitted that her mother Judith still blames himself for that for a long time put up with the cruelty of her husband and brought up children in such a toxic atmosphere. In the eyes of the berry are still a terrible picture, in which a father confronts her mother from the stairs and breaks a bottle on her head.
in 1970, when Holly was four years old, Judith was finally able to divorce her husband-a tyrant. From the moment custody of the girl and her sister completely fell on the shoulders of the mother, but the father disappeared from their lives: Barry still doesn’t know how it happened to him after leaving the family.
Judith without anyone’s help, tried to give Holly and her sister decent education and to provide them a normal childhood. However, in the Junior future star had to face another problem, which interfered with her quietOh life. Until the third grade Holly went to school in an area where there were mostly black people in the class still felt very uncomfortable. Many of his classmates looked askance at berry due to the fact that her mother Judith was white. At recess many peers berry whispered behind her back, suggesting that in fact the girl was adopted, — not to notice these conversations a little Holly just could not.
Soon Judith with the children changed district of residence and took the girls to another school. However, the relocation did not solve all problems: the school for white children Holly’s sister was the only one there, and, as a result, immediately began to be attacked by the most violent students.
due to the fact that my mom was white and dad black, we were called “biscuits “Oreo”. The children could not understand that we were just different. I think my constant desire to achieve more connected with the school for years when I was constantly trying to prove that I’m no worse than white children. I thought, “If I can defeat them all, then I’ll be as good as they,” — recalled berry about high school in one of the interviews with journalists.
In this situation, Holly had no choice except to defend their own rights and to repel aggressors. This approach soon bore fruit: berry’s got a reputation among peers, became the senior class President, editor of the school newspaper and the captain of a local team in cheerleading.
After high school, Holly decided to learn the profession of a journalist and enrolled in the largest community College in Ohio. In parallel, berry went to work as a sales assistant in a shop to more financial not to depend on mom.
