Charlize Theron
When Charlize turned 18, she packed her bags in South Africa and moved to Hollywood to make it big. She was living paycheck to paycheck and got into a fight with a bank teller who said her check could not be cashed. Well, that fight worked in her favor, because a talent agent also in the bank liked her spunk and helped her land her first big role in Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest.
