Halle Berry, 57, goes topless to celebrate 20 years of her box office bomb Catwoman: 'And STILL... meow!'

It may have been a box office bomb and panned by critics upon its release in 2004, but Halle Berry is feeling 'forever grateful' to her starring role in Catwoman.

Like many so-called camp classics, the much-maligned film has become a fan favourite alongside similarly derided movies like Showgirls and Mommie Dearest. When it came out, Catwoman made roughly $82million at the box office against a hefty $100million budget, rendering it a flop, and the terrible reviews didn't help either, with one critic quipping that it was 'about as sexy as a hairball.' The drive for a Catwoman spinoff movie was driven by the success of Michelle Pfeiffer's performance in Tim Burton's excellent Batman Returns in 1992.
