Charlize Theron moved to Los Angeles and her mother paid for her ticket. But Charlize had no money for a return ticket and, for a long time, she was really hungry and lived in a cheap motel because she couldn’t find an agent. When she ran out of money, she went to the bank to cash one of the checks her mom sent to her. But the teller refused to cash it.

Charlize went crazy, she caused a scene, she was crying, and she had no idea that someone was watching her. When she stopped screaming, a man came up to her and helped her solve the financial issue. He turned out to be the agent that would go on to help her with her career.
