Elle acquiert le statut d'héroïne nationale dans son pays natal pour avoir remporté l'Oscar de la meilleure actrice pour son rôle dans Monster en 2003. Charlize Theron naît à Benoni, une cité minière du Transvaal située à 25 kilomètres de Johannesburg le 7 août 1975, d'un père (Charles) d'ascendance française, et de mère (Gerda) d'origine allemande. Sa langue maternelle est l'afrikaans, l'anglais étant sa seconde langue. Charlize grandit en milieu rural dans la ferme de ses parents, par ailleurs propriétaires d'une entreprise de construction routière, et apprend le xhosa au contact des travailleurs de l'entreprise familiale. À l'âge de 12 ans, Charlize est envoyée à la National School Of The Arts de Johannesburg. Elle y entretient sa passion pour la danse, dont elle débute la pratique dès ses 6 ans avec des cours de ballet. Ses performances font le ravissement de sa mère, qui l'encourage à développer ses talents artistiques. Ces expériences positives rendent les retours au domicile plus difficiles, tant sa situation familiale se dégrade. Son père Charles sombre peu à peu dans l'alcoolisme, et se montre de plus en plus distant vis à vis de sa famille. Puis, un jour de 1991, alors que Charlize est de retour de l'école pour le week-end, sa mère Gerda subit à nouveau les violences de son mari, et le tue par balles en état de légitime défense. Aucune poursuite judiciaire n'est engagée. Sa mère a une influence positive dans sa vie, l'inscr...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Ian Douglas Smith GCLM ID (8 April 1919 20 November 2007) served as the Prime Minister of the British self-governing colony of Southern Rhodesia from 13 April 1964 to 11 November 1965. Smith unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom on 11 November 1965 and he served as the first Prime Minister of Rhodesia from that date to 1 June 1979 during white minority rule. The country failed to gain international recognition and United Nations economic sanctions were instituted. The party he led, the Rhodesian Front, won all but two general elections until the end of white rule in 1979, a period in which few blacks were qualified to vote. The Smith administration fought against black nationalists in the 19711979 Rhodesian Bush War. He negotiated an Internal Settlement in 1979 after 14 years of maintaining white rule in the face of war, economic sanctions, and international pressure. The agreement led to biracial rule and a coalition government led by Prim...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=205137 ... Read more

Excerpt: Sid James (born Solomon Joel Cohen; 8 May 1913 26 April 1976) was a South African, British-based actor and comedian. He made his name as Tony Hancock's co-star in Hancock's Half Hour and also starred in the popular Carry On films. He was known for his trademark "dirty laugh" and lascivious persona. James was born Solomon Joel Cohen on 8 May 1913 to Jewish parents in South Africa, later changing his name to Sidney Joel Cohen, and then Sidney James. His family lived on Hancock Street in Hillbrow, Gauteng, Johannesburg. He worked as a diamond cutter, hairdresser, dance tutor and reputedly a part-time boxer in fairgrounds, before becoming a professional actor. It was at a hairdressing salon in Kroonstad, Orange Free State that he met his first wife. He married Berthe Sadie Delmont, known as Toots, on 12 August 1936 and her father Joseph Delmont, a wealthy Johannesburg businessman, bought a salon for James. Within a year, however, James announced that he wanted to become an actor and joined Johannesburg Repertory Players. Through this he got work with the South African Broadcasting Corporation. During the Second World War, he became a lieutenant in the South African Army in an entertainment unit, and subsequently took up acting as a career.
