THE INTERVIEW

H er first big screen success was
Devil’s Advocate, starring
Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino
in the challenging role as
Reeves’ wife where the depths of her acting
skills are extensively exhibited. Consistently
working in films such as Celebrity, Mighty Joe
Young, the Oscar-winning The Cider House
Rules and The Italian Job, she quickly became
an intensely coveted big screen asset.

In 2003 the world stopped and took notice of
her stunning performance in the real crime
drama thriller Monster. Theron plays the serial
killer Aileen Wuornos, a former prostitute who
was executed in Florida in 2002 for killing six
men in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The film
earned seventeen awards including an Oscar
for Theron.

All of Theron’s roles include an innate sense of
self, a combination of challenge, poise and an
inner strength that make every character real to
the viewer. Her prodigious talent and yearning
to perform came naturally. She started off
modelling throughout Europe and then moved
to the U.S. for more opportunities.

“My mom has made it possible for me to be who I
am. Our family is everything. Her greatest skill was
encouraging me to find my own person and own
independence.”

- Charlize Theron
