Charlize Theron

Charlize Theron earns my admiration for treating beauty as an obstacle to overcome rather than a career to manage. Her Oscar for Monster required erasing the very thing Hollywood prized in her, and she has kept making that choice ever since, through physically brutal action roles, unglamorous characters, and projects she develops herself as a producer. The journey from Benoni, South Africa to the top of Hollywood would be remarkable on its own; doing it while refusing to be merely decorative makes it singular. Add her ongoing outreach work in her home country, and you get my favorite kind of star: one who uses her power deliberately.
