Charlize Theron

          I met Charlize Theron in my hotel in Milano. Christan Burran, the makeup artist I had been traveling the world with, had seen her and insisted that we shoot with Charlize.

          Christan had a superb passion and eye for faces, makeup and colors, and doing one more shoot was something I could always find time for.

          Charlize was beautiful, sexy, headstrong and complex. She knew how to project her focus and attention and as we flowed through the day, we talked about acting, South Africa and about the need to use her fame and success as a platform in the future.
