Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has turned criminal. Don’t get too excited though because that’s just in the movies. Berry is set to play the role of real-life jewelry theft Doris Payne. Payne is infamous for her long career as an international jewel thief. She dressed herself up in fancy clothes as a ruse to steal high-priced jewelry from stores in broad daylight. Nobody would in fact suspect that this elegant lady is out to steal precious jewelry right from under the clerk’s nose. Payne was already 75 years old when she stole a diamond ring worth $36,000 from Neiman Marcus in 2005. The modus operandi was to try on as many jewelries as possible until the clerk gets confused. She is said to be an astute businesswoman and has expanded her illegal business to Monte Carlo and Switzerland.
The Doris Payne role is actually a great comeback for Berry after her pregnancy. She was not seen in the big screen for a while except for a recent hosting job. Payne is a classy thief, stealing only from well-known jewelry stores like Town and Country as well as Neiman Marcus. Using her good looks, sophisticated clothes and charm, Payne was able to trick clerks into offering her jewelries in a silver platter. Possessing these characteristics herself, Berry is indeed a perfect fit to play Payne.
