20 Things You Didn't Know About Charlize Theron
17. She Transitioned From Model To Actress Due To A Shouting Match With A Teller
Her mother also gave her a cheque to help out with rent in L.A. for the first few months as she attended various auditions. But when she tried to cash it, a teller at a bank on Hollywood Boulevard refused.
This led to a very public, loud shouting match between the teller and Theron. When it had subsided, a man standing behind her in line handed her his business card and introduced himself. She had officially landed a talent agent in John Crosby, who also introduced her to casting agents and an acting school.
So take note: be sure to yell as loud as you can at any location on Hollywood Boulevard. You can't throw a rock on that street without hitting an agent.
