Charlize Theron
Can you believe that Charlize Theron was raised on a South African farm? She was 15 years old when her alcoholic father was killed by her mother in the name of self-defense after he made threats to kill his wife and daughter. Originally a promising ballet dancer, she ended up quitting after suffering an injury from training. Her natural beauty caught the attention of modeling scouts, though she only made it truly big when she started acting. She is more than just a pretty face, and her Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Aileen Wuornos is a testament to this fact.
