Charlize: Looks Are Not Important


South African screen starlet CHARLIZE THERON believes that her looks have nothing to do with the success she has enjoyed in Hollywood.

There has been a recent trend of models-turned-actresses (MTAs) landing movie roles, but DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, the (1997) star doesn't see herself as fitting into this category.

She reveals, "I really don't understand why anyone would think that you have to be physically perfect to be in movies because it's so not true. When you look at the amount of MTAs that are successful it's a minute proportion. You might get in the door for a couple of years playing the beautiful girl, But then Hollywood is going to be done with you. " (SC/WNSINS/RP)
