The
South African actress's career sky rocketed with the
Keanu Reeves starrer 'The Devil's Advocate' (1997).Her
career graph has since seen steady rise with performances
in 'The Italian Job', 'Monster' and 'North Country'.
She won the Academy award for Monster.
She pockets $10 million per flick.
Something to chew on:
Theron dated the lead singer of Third Eye Blind, Stephan
Jenkins, from January 1998 to July 2001. Jenkins broke
up with her after failing to take her requests of marriage
seriously. Theron now resides in Los Angeles with her
long-time boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, with whom she
starred in the 2004 film Head in the Clouds, as well
as in the 2002 film Trapped; she has said that they
will not marry until same-sex couples are able to have
their marriages recognized. In October 2005, her mother,
Gerda, was married in California. The media thought
that Charlize was the one getting married (to Townsend)
and the paparazzi got as close as it could for the photos.
