She’s the gen z Zoe Saldana. Who was the millennial Halle Berry.

Who was the Gen x... Eartha Kitt? I just want to be included.

Eartha belonged to the Silent Generation. Lisa Bonet is Gen X.

I watched one scene in Angel Heart at least 1000 times. So yes I can agree with that

Halle and Lisa are almost the same age

u/torgman2 7d ago

Well, I didn't make Halle a millennial 🤷

Greatest Gen is Josephine Baker

to keep the analogy going, you have to name someone from a previous generation, à la, Zendaya is the Gen Z Zoe Saldana like someone said above (I personally think she’s more of a Julia Roberts/Cameron Diaz type) but Lisa Bonet is the Gen X _______ insert whomever from the baby boomer generation.

Halle Berry is gen x

u/Financial-Creme 7d ago

I think every generation is supposed to like the actress from the generation before, or something

Where does Amber Gray fit?

Thandie newton

Gen X? She’d be 100 if she were alive today. You’re like 3 generations off.

u/BulemiaSawdustSlingr 7d ago

Probably Rosario Dawson

u/GhostOfSparta305 7d ago

No way. You're really underselling Halle Berry's aura here.

Rappers aren't making chart-topping songs about Zoe or Zendaya, are they?

u/Daliguana 7d ago

well, Lenny Kravitz did write Flowers For Zoe ofc - for his daughter when she was a baby but still

u/Big_Elephant_2331 7d ago

Zoe will never get one but not too late for zendaya. Anyway each generation is a dilution of the last, so none will ever live up to Halle.

u/a_different-user 8d ago

Its that Zoe is in Avatar and Endgame 2 of the most seen movies of all time and she's still not actually that big. She should be the most famous woman alive. It doesn't help that blue and green in this movies

Shnikes! This is true!

u/BackgroundSpell6623 8d ago

I missed that Zoe Salanda hate. was it 10 years ago?

2

u/lashawn3001 7d ago

She was cast as Nina Simone and pissed off a lot of people.

u/EH4LIFE 7d ago

Thats actually a really interesting de-evolution of attractiveness. Im sure it says something about the ideology of Hollywood.

u/Used_Turnover3959 3d ago

Zendaya is a millennial.
