Her beauty trumps many a starlet in youth-obsessed Hollywood, but Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry, at age 40, is preparing to go where few leading actresses would dare.

Berry is going bald.

The actress, whose roles include sexy secret agent Jinx in the James Bond flick "Die Another Day," is shaving her brunette locks for a new movie that could start shooting as soon as this summer, Berry told reporters late Wednesday.

"I'm going to shave my head bald. I can't believe it," she said. (Watch Berry talk about her bout with depression )

Berry will shed her hair for a romantic comedy she said is currently titled "Nappily Ever After."

The star plays a woman whose hair is starting to fall out, so she decides to shave it all. Afterward, she must deal with people's perceptions of who she is and how her hair defined her.

Berry said her character "is forced to look at what beauty is, and it comes from inside."

"I still struggle with this hair issue," she said. "I'm going to get the lesson on film, and hopefully other women will get it, too."

Her plan is to shave her real hair on film and not fake it by wearing a cap. But it will be more than a year before moviegoers will see Berry go bald because a new draft of "Nappily Ever After" was only recently completed.

For now, Berry is starring in the thriller "Perfect Stranger," which debuts across the United States on April 13. She plays a news reporter caught up in a murder investigation.

The star, who won her Oscar for best actress playing a down-on-her-luck waitress in 2001's "Monster's Ball," said that at age 40, life is better than ever.

Twice-divorced Berry is now dating model Gabriel Aubry, who is 10 years her junior.

"I'm really happy. I'm in a really good space in my life, and I can honestly say it's not because of any one thing," she said. "It's not because I have a really cute boyfriend. It's not because of my career. It's because I feel good about me."

Berry said she feels more self-assured and confident with her sexuality now than when she was younger.

"As I've gotten older, I've become more comfortable with who I really am -- all parts of me -- knowing that my physical self doesn't diminish me in any way, or my talent," she said.

Nor, for that matter, does her hair.

^going bald won't be that weird for her since she often has really short hair. I've never had my hair shorter than my shoulder, so I don't think I could do that!

even bald she'd probably so completely gorgeous she has nothing to worry about, to be honest I don't know if the movie's message would come of properly with her as the actress.

She looked great with the cropped short hair so at least it will look good as its growing in and then theres always extensions for the awkward stage! She looks unbelievable as shes getting her star, i love her dress so sexy and the shoes are perfect with it!

[humor]

It should be illegal for anyone to have a boyfriend that gorgeous. He should pay taxes for being that perfect.

^ i agree he is fine

That woman is perfection personified. She's absolutely flawless, the only perfect woman in the world.

GORGEOUS!!!

I just read on Just Jared that she said her interview in Esquire will be her last!?

Halle Berry says her interview in the new issue in Esquire magazine will be her last. Halle told the magazine she looks forward to “…no more pressure to come up with an excuse as to why I don’t have a baby at forty, and finally, no more giving a magazine the power to paint a portrait of me that was just not true.”

^ That's weird. I don't think actors have the luxury to turn down interviews. They have to, to promote movies and all.

I think she means that it will be her last interview for this movie, which would be her last interview for awhile since I don't think she has another movie coming out anytime soon.
