Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975, in Benoni,
South
Africa, and first discovered her artistic talents in the form of dance. At the
age of 12, she began studying the art of dancing at a boarding school in
Johannesburg.
The born-to-be-a-star's career path then changed at the age
of 16, when she won a Johannesburg modeling contest and the International New
Model Today competition in Italy. She tried to return to dancing when she was
18-years-old, but due to many injuries, was force to leave the dream behind.
Soon after, Theron decided to go after a career in acting and moved to the
entertainment capital of the world.
