Charlize Theron: Keeper
Charlize
Theron (General American English pronunciation: play /ʃɑrˈliːs ˈθɛrən/; Afrikaans pronunciation: [ʃɐrˈlis tron];[1] born 7 August 1975)
is a South African actress and fashion model. She started her acting career in
the United States and rose to fame in the late 1990s following roles in The
Devil's Advocate (1997), Mighty Joe Young (1998), and The Cider House Rules
(1999). Theron won the Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden Globe Award
for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama for her portrayal of serial killer
Aileen Wuornos in Monster (2003), becoming the first South African to win an
Academy Award in a major acting category.
She received further
Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for her performance in North Country
in 2005, and a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Young Adult in
2011. In 2012 she appeared in Snow White & the Huntsman and Prometheus. Theron
became a US citizen in 2007, while retaining her South African citizenship.
Although seeing
herself as a dancer,[13] Theron at 16 won a one-year modeling contract[8] at a
local competition in Salerno[13][14] and with her mother moved to Milan,
Italy.[15] After Theron spent a year modeling throughout Europe, she and her
mother moved to New York City and Miami, Florida.[15] In New York, she attended
the Joffrey Ballet School, where she trained as a ballet dancer until a knee
injury closed this career path.[13] As Theron recalled in 2008,
I went to New York for three days to model,
and then I spent a winter in New York in a friend's windowless basement
apartment. I was broke, I was taking class at the Joffrey Ballet, and my knees
gave out. I realized I couldn’t dance anymore, and I went into a major
depression. My mom came over from South Africa and said, "Either you
figure out what to do next or you come home, because you can sulk in South
Africa."[13]
At 19,[16] Theron
flew to Los Angeles, California, on a one-way ticket her mother bought her,
intending now to work in the movie industry.[13] During her early months there,
she went to a Hollywood Boulevard bank to cash a check her mother had sent her
to help with the rent.[17] When the teller refused to cash it, Theron engaged
in a shouting match with her.[8] Upon seeing this, talent agent John
Crosby,[17] in line behind her, handed her his business card and subsequently
introduced her to casting agents and also an acting school.[17][18] She later
fired him as her manager after he kept sending her scripts for films similar to
Showgirls and Species.[19] After several months in the city, she was cast in
her first film part, a non-speaking role in the direct-to-video film Children
of the Corn III (1995).[8] Her first speaking role was a supporting but
significant and attention-garnering part as a hitwoman in 2 Days in the Valley
(1996).[8] Larger roles in widely released Hollywood films followed, and her
career expanded in the late 1990s with box-office successes like The Devil's
Advocate (1997), Mighty Joe Young (1998), and The Cider House Rules (1999).[8]
She was on the cover of the January 1999 issue of Vanity Fair as the
"White Hot Venus".[20] She also appeared on the cover of the May 1999
issue of Playboy magazine; However, the nude photos inside the issue had been
taken several years earlier before she became famous, and Theron unsuccessfully
sued the magazine for publishing the photos without her consent.[21][22] AskMen
named her the number one most desirable woman of 2003. -Wikipedia
