Halle Berry has signed up to star in fact-based heist movie Who Is Doris Payne?, according to Variety.

Scripted by Eunetta Boone, the project will follow the career of international jewel thief Doris Payne, whose criminal career stretched five decades.

Payne, who is still alive, committed a string of major robberies at jewellery stores such as Tiffany's in New York and Cartier in Monte Carlo. She never carried a gun and always preferred to use her smooth talk and good looks to walk away with expensive items.

She was eventually arrested in 2003 and served a two-year sentence.
