Question 2 of 6
Whom or what was Halle named after?
CORRECT ANSWER:
A department store
A Cleveland native, Berry was named for the city's famous department store, which was founded in 1891. "My mother (right) was shopping at Halle Brothers," the actress told Jet. "She saw their bags and thought, 'That's what I'm going to name my child.' I thought it was the coolest name until I got into this business. No one ever says it right." The Halle Building was later converted into office space and became the fictional setting for the Winfred-Louder department store on The Drew Carey Show.
