* Creator/HalleBerry played a biracial woman in ''Queen'', and is one herself, though she identifies as just Black.

* Creator/HalleBerry played a biracial woman in ''Queen'', and is one herself, though she identifies as just Black.
* Creator/GuguMbathaRaw has a black father and white mother. Her characters Noni (''Film/BeyondTheLights''), Ruth (''Film/FastColor''), and Dido (''Film/Belle2013'') have the same ancestry, but with a white father/black mother instead. In fact, so far now whenever her characters' background has been shown, it matches hers (at least aside from their parents' specific races, except in ''Series/{{Bonekickers}}'' with Vic, whose ancestry was the same). This may have been her request, as she's explicit in identifying as a biracial woman. In all of those cases though one of her parents is absent or even dead. Unlike her film alter egos, however, Mbatha-Raw enjoys close, very healthy relationships with both of her parents (per her interviews, her father has always played a very active role in her life and her parents [[AmicableExes both remain on such friendly terms]] with one another that the three of them often will do things together as a family).
