"You need to surround
yourself with people you really do trust and people who really do love you who
are willing to show you your flaws."
Charlize Theron grew up on a farm
outside Benoni, South Africa, as the only child. She got an education as a
ballet dancer and has danced both The Swan Lake and the Nutcracker Suite. There
wasn't much for a young actress or dancer to do in South Africa, so she soon
travelled to Europe and USA where she got job at the Joffrey Ballet in New York.
She was also able to work as a photo model. However, an injured knee put a halt
to her dancing career. At the age of 18 her mother made her go to Los Angeles to
try a career in the movie industry. She came to LA without knowing anyone in the
city but after two weeks when she was standing in line on Hollywood Boulevard an
agent gave her his card. After eight months in LA she got her first part. Since
then she has taken acting lessons and her career has skyrocketed, most lately in
