There are very few performances given by actresses that have floored me. Hilary Swank is Boys Don't Cry, Halle Berry in Monster's Ball, Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream. Sure, Meryl Streep and countless other actresses give wonderful performances in their own right all the time. But rarely does a performance transcend acting to become legendary risk taking. Charlize Theron does this, with a vengeance, she has gone from being a gorgeous, very good actress, to a screen legend. Good for her.
