Charlize Theron | Jackson & August

South African actress and producer Charlize Theron is undoubtedly one of the world’s highest-paid actresses, as well as a recipient of numerous prestigious accolades, which include an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. The role of the leading lady in the Hollywood blockbusters 1997’s The Devil’s Advocate, 1998’s Mighty Joe Young, and 1999’s The Cider House Rules propelled Charlize to a great degree of fame in the 1990s.

She later earned the Silver Bear and the Academy Award for Best Actress for her depiction of serial murderer Aileen Wuornos in 2003’s Monster, making her the first South African to win an Oscar in an acting category. The actress adopted her two daughters, Jackson and August. While completing her adoption papers, she supposedly cast a broad net in the hopes that her kid would find her, giving the adoption procedure a whole new meaning. This is something that the Atomic Blonde star is known for.
