Photos of 18-Year-Old Charlize Theron Posing as Marilyn Monroe in 1993

In 1993, an 18‑year‑old Charlize Theron posed as Marilyn Monroe for the French magazine Madame Figaro. At the time, she was modeling across Europe after securing a contract in Italy, and the shoot served as a homage to the legendary Hollywood icon. Theron drew praise for channeling Monroe’s signature glamour and sensuality with striking ease.

The following year, she left modeling behind and moved to Los Angeles on a one‑way ticket, determined to pursue acting. Her persistence paid off: she earned her first significant speaking role in 2 Days in the Valley in 1996, followed by her breakout performance in The Devil’s Advocate in 1997.
