Charlize Theron

While she initially aspired to be a dancer, Charlize Theron began her career in the modeling scene. Although she did take ballet classes not long after, she ultimately bade farewell to that route, though that’s not a bad thing. That’s because she eventually made her way to the acting business. By 1995, she got her first acting gig, a non-speaking role for Children of the Corn III.

Since then, Theron’s reputation has soared to even greater heights and is now cited as one of Hollywood’s most regarded stars. Along with receiving fame for starring in films such as Mad Max: Fury Road, Atomic Blonde, Monster, and The Italian Job, she has also made several investments as a producer through her own company, Denver and Delilah Productions. Along the way, Theron also had a relationship with a couple of her colleagues, including Stuart Townsend and Sean Penn.
