In 1993, Charlize Theron, then an 18-year-old model, posed as Marilyn Monroe for the French magazine Madame Figaro. At the time, she was modeling throughout Europe after winning a modeling contract in Italy. The photo shoot was a tribute to the iconic actress, and Theron was praised for her ability to capture Monroe’s sensual and glamorous poses.
The year after the photo shoot, Theron moved to Los Angeles on a one-way ticket to pursue a career in acting, with the goal of becoming more than just a model. She eventually landed her first major speaking role in 2 Days in the Valley in 1996 and her breakout film in 1997 with The Devil’s Advocate.
