20 Things You Didn't Know About Catwoman

14. The Embarrassing Catsuit

Sharon Stone Halle Berry Catwoman
Warner Bros.

To try and distinguish Halle Berry from the Catwomen who had come before her, she was provided with a very different catsuit: one that consisted mainly of a mask, gym bra, and slashed trousers, all apparently fashioned from a leather jacket.

Admittedly, the majority of Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman costume was supposed to have been fashioned from a black PVC jacket with other accessories used to make up the remainder of the costume. Pfeiffer had experienced her own difficulties with the catsuit, one of them being that it was not easy to take off.

Unfortunately, Halle Berry had entirely the opposite problem: the costume was not particularly easy to work in during filming as, in particular, the bra had an annoying tendency to fall off right in the middle of filming, making Berry a very cold kitty!

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
