Divine Intervention
One day, Theron was trying to cash a $500 check that she got from her mother back in South Africa. The teller refused, assuming that the check was forged. Theron was arguing with the teller when a nice man named John Crosby, who just so happened to be a talent agent, offered to be her co-signer on the check. He then helped her find acting gigs and she landed her first movie role within one year of that serendipitous meeting.
