Born on August 7, 1975 in Benoi, South Africa, Theron (pronounced, in her own words, as "thrown") of French/German descent, she started modeling at the age of 16, after having won a modeling contract in Milan. When the contract expired, she was in New York, and decided to stay there to pursue a dancing career. She enrolled in the Joffrey Ballet School but unfortunately an injury at the age of 18 put paid to her dancing aspirations.
Since she was unable to dance, she tried her luck at acting and moved to Los Angeles. She was first cast in a non-speaking role eight months later in an indie movie. She then her career has skyrocketed and she has been cast in Hollywood blockbusters such as The Cider House Rules, The Devil's Advocate, and Mighty Joe Young.
