Charlize began her modeling career in 1991 aged 16 when she won a local modeling contest. She started modeling in Europe and came to New York a year later. She didn't like being a model though, and decided to try her luck with ballet, which had been her biggest passion as a child. Unfortunately, a knee injury prevented her from dancing. Her mother bought her a one-way ticket to Los Angeles in 1994 and Charlize started visiting all of the agents on Hollywood Bulevard but without any luck. She went to the bank to cash a check for $500 she'd got from her mother and became furious when she learned that the bank could not cash her check because it was an out-state check. She made a scene and an agent gave her his card, in exchange that she learn the language, which she did by watching soap operas on TV. Her first role was as a young mother in a park in a B-film in 1995, but it was a non-speaking role with three seconds of screen time. Her next role was as Helga in 2 Days in the Valley (1996), which landed her the role of Tina in That Thing You Do! (1996). Since then, she has starred in movies like The Devil's Advocate (1997); Mighty Joe Young (1998); The Cider House Rules (1999); The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000) and The Italian Job (2003). An important day in her life was February 29th, 2004 when she was awarded with her first Academy Award for her performance in Monster (2003).

• August 1, 2009: Charlize Works It: I like how Charlize Theron has never had a "perfect" body, no matter how many times it's been claimed. She's got naturally small breasts, even if they're good in size and placement. She's tall and narrow when she's at her thinnest and more lumpy...
• August 13, 2009: Battle of the Babes #65: I've been writing this column for so long that you would think that I'd have run out of ideas by now. I'm fearing that I'm eventually going to start repeating myself. Yet, I'm not worried. See, Hollywood repeats a pattern itself...
• May 21, 2009: Battle of the Babes #53: I like an actress with range. I was thinking about this when I watched Amy Adams pull off a variation of the same character she usually plays, this time in SUNSHINE CLEANING. To me, the fact that she can just tweak a little here...
