Charlize Theron is considered one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood today. Before gaining this title, she had no idea that she would one day enter the world of acting. She came from South Africa and had an alcoholic and abusive father. In Johannesburg, she joined the National School of Arts and started training in ballet. She wanted to continue her career in the art of ballet but had to drop out because of a severe knee injury. Because of this, she had to enter modeling and while auditioning for a modeling job, an agent introduced her to Hollywood and she got cast in the movie, Children of the Corn III, and the rest is history.
