Charlize Theron. Here’s the story.
It was somewhere around 2004–2005. I was working as a studio liaison for Sony Pictures Studios, which is the old MGM lot of Hollywood lore.
My job was working with incoming Film/TV productions, as well as with Sony executives.
So each day, I would know who was coming onto the lot because everyone needs a “drive-on” pass. The VIP lot (North Thalberg) was THE A-list lot.
So what I would do each morning is to check the list for any stars I’d want to walk past so I could tell my wife. She loved hearing those sighting stories.
Well, Charlize was coming to the lot. She was going to the Thalberg building, which houses all of the studio heads and top executives. She was going to see Amy Pascal, the former Sony studio head.
I left my office and walked towards the Thalberg building and, sure enough, there was Charlize talking on her phone in front of the building. She was a little early so was likely killing time.
I was stopped in my tracks mentally. Why?
BECAUSE SHE WAS BREATHTAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Now, I don’t mean in a Hollywood made-up type of way. She had barely any make-up on. She was dressed nice, but not red carpet-like obviously.
She was utterly breathtaking. I walked past. She glanced and smiled politely as she talked on her phone.
She looked close to this, but without the earing and less makeup. And she was dressed more in business casual.
