When Theron turned 15, her father’s struggle with alcoholism became intense, especially when he started being violent to her and her mother. Theron watched in dismay as her mother Gerda shot her father, but the murder was deemed as self-defense. At the age of 16, Charlize registered for the Johannesburg modeling contest and won.

As her presence became more evident in Hollywood, she landed another role, being cast alongside Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino in the 1997 film The Devil’s Advocate. Success continued for Charlize, and she took on another drama, North County, where she portrayed an iron miner who was fighting sexual harassment. Her role in the film saw her earn a nomination at the Oscars and Golden Globes.
