<p>Many of the early projects that were offered to Theron -- including Showgirls (1995) and Species (1995) -- lacked substance and sought mainly to capitalize on her good looks. For the most part, she avoided them and began to win notice for her acting ability, as much as her exterior, with her performance opposite Keanu Reeves in Taylor Hackford's The Devil's Advocate (1997). Subsequent noteworthy work included parts in Lasse Hallstrom's The Cider House Rules (1999), James Gray's The Yards (1999), and F. Gary Gray's The Italian Job (2003). But it would be her performance as serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Monster (2003) -- a film that was written for her by Patti Jenkins, who had been impressed by her work in The Devil's Advocate and seen in Theron potential that no one else had -- that would change her career forever. Theron lost 40 pounds, shaved her eyebrows, donned prosthetic teeth and morphed into a twitchy, unpredictable maniac in what the film critic Roger Ebert described as "one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema" and the Academy deemed the best leading performance by a female of the year.</p>
