Life and career
Berry made her first appearance on the screen at 8 years old in My Life Is Hell, a comedy directed, written and produced by her mother and co-starring her uncle, Richard Berry.
Berry has had several roles in films as a teenager who finds her salvation in music. As Lolita Cassard in Look at Me (2003), she was a girl crushed by the notoriety of her father, an author, while trying to get him to notice her singing talent. As Hannah Goldman in The first time I turned 20 (2004), she was the only girl in a traditionally all-male school jazz band in 1950s France.
Berry's most recent roles have been comedic, such as Once Upon a Time in the Oued and then Nos jours heureux (Our Happy Days), as well as in the upcoming The New Adventures of Cinderella.
