re: Is Charlize Theron one of the more underrated female actors right now?

I feel like she just stays out of the spotlight and out of the tabloids (for the most part). So it seems like she's not talked about much. But she's been pretty steadily busy for over 15 years now. And her staying out of the tabloids is good news for me...means I won't have to deal with that bullshite once she comes to her senses and realizes that I'm her soulmate.

I feel ya.

I know this may sound retarded, but my first memory of her was in Devils Advocate in 1997. The thing is though, I thought for a few minutes while watching it for the first time, that she was Tiffani Amber Thiessen. I hadn't seen "Kelly Kapowski" on anything since the College Years, and I didn't watch 90210 at the time. I really arse thought she had dyed her hair blonde and adopted a southern accent for The Devils Advocate. And they both had this kind of mole or freckle at like the same exact spot on their throat (So removed 3-4 years from SBTB, I found this to be plausible.) I realized how incredibly wrong I was by the time they had moved to NYC in the movie, but I damn sure did think Charlize Theron was Kelly Kapowski for a few brief moments. Even to the point that I was trying to argue with my friend while watching it.
