Charlize Theron burst on the scene as a model after winning a competition when she was only 16. After moving to New York from South Africa, she was soon hooked up with a casting agent and made her big screen debut in 1996’s ‘2 Days in the Valley’ where she wowed audiences in an incredible fight scene with Teri Hatcher. The recognition would lead to her breakout role in ‘The Devil’s Advocate,’ starring alongside Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino.
After a string of hits like ‘The Cider house Rules,’ ‘Reindeer Games’ and ‘The Italian Job,’ Charlize would tackle the role of a lifetime: serial killer Aileen Wuornos in ‘Monster.’ Her work would win her a Best Actress Oscar.
More recently, Charlize has been seen in ‘The Fate of the Furious,’ ‘Atomic Blonde’ and ‘Bombshell.’ She has also recently signed on to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
