Oscar-winner Halle Berry has claimed that good acting roles for women are hard to find.

Berry said that she had to fight to get her part in new film Things We Lost In The Fire, because it was a rare example of a "deep" female character.

She told the Press Association: "I think most actors have to fight for the good parts. They're so few and far between, especially for women.

"I very rarely read scripts with roles for women that are this good and this needy and this deep, and when I read this script, I connected with the material."
