continued her modeling career working modeling jobs when
she could land them and taking bread from restaurants
when work was thin. She was accustomed to the South African
climate so to get over her woes of the cold and wet New

got in to an argument with a bank manager that refused

bank manager that would soon change Charlize life.

with the bank manager, a Hollywood agent noticed Charlize.

and towering height. That was the big break she ever so
needed to get discovered, and eight months later she landed
her first job.
