HALLE BERRY SAYS HER HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT CHANGED HER LIFE: Actress Halle Berry has admitted that her court-ordered community service stemming from her 1997 hit and run car accident changed her life. According to Starpulse.com, Berry was sentenced to 250 hours of community service for leaving the scene of an accident in West Hollywood -- even though she suffered amnesia and needed 17 stitches in her forehead. She fulfilled her court order by working at L.A.'s Jenesse Center -- a charity for battered women. And 13 years later, Halle still regularly volunteers with the organization -- which has helped her realize the importance of giving back. She said, "It changed my life. I hadn't been doing enough (for others). It was time."
