Article: Charlize Theron: Top Five / Bottom Five.(A & E)

She's so gorgeous that she's easy to take even in bad movies ... and there have been more than a few of those in her career. But Charlize Theron just keeps getting more and more interesting as a performer, because now, as a producer of some of her own films, she's breaking free of the pretty-girl ghetto to latch onto some genuinely meaty roles. This fall we'll see her in The Burning Plain (which she also executive produced) as a woman haunted by her difficult childhood, and as the unnamed Wife in the postapocalyptic The Road. Good times.
