Halle Berry doesn't regret Catwoman because of the money she made
The 2004 movie Catwoman starring Halle Berry and Sharon Stone was a huge box office flop.
But Berry said Monday night at the Matrix Awards that she doesn't regret making it because she earned 'a s***load of money' from it.
The actress, 51, said the money she got for playing the DC Comics character changed her life and also taught her some valuable lessons.

Berry was honored in New York by the New York Women in Communications non-profit, a networking organization for women in communications.
In a speech at the event, as reported by E!, she explained that Catwoman 'wasn't a failure for me.'
'I met so many interesting people that I wouldn't have met otherwise. I got to learn two forms of martial arts and I got to learn what not to do, and learning what not to do is as important as learning what to do,' she said.
She added: 'And I got that gift, and I got a s***load of money that changed my life.'
