Happy Birthday Charlize Theron!  One of Charlize’s early film roles was as Helga Svelgen in the crime film, 2 Days in the Valley (1996).  She had a cameo role in Tom Hanks’ film That Thing You Do! (1996).  Charlize played Mary Ann Lomax, the wife of Keanu Reeves’ character, in The Devil’s Advocate (1997).  I think I took notice of her as Jill Young in the remake of Mighty Joe Young (1998).  She plays Jillian Armacost in The Astronaut’s Wife (1999).  Charlize was in the drama The Cider House Rules (1999) playing Candy Kendall.  She was in the action film, The Italian Job (2008) playing Stella Bridger.  Her most distinguished role was as serial killer, Aileen Wuoronos, in Monster (2003), directed by Patty Jenkins.  Charlize had the lead role in the live action adaptation of the sci fi animated series, Aeon Flux (2005).
