Charlize Central

Charlize Theron is an actress who traverses between the mainstream (The Italian Job, Aeon Flux) and the independent (The Yards, Monster) with ease, and now she wears another hat: in Sleepwalking, she both co-stars and produces.

It’s not the first time she’s worked as a producer – that would be Monster, the little movie that could for which she won the Best Actress Oscar.

“That’s the job I signed up for,� she says when asked about her nonstop busy schedule during filming. “When people are going to give you millions and millions of dollars to go make a film, you’re responsible for them. So I spent six weeks up there before anybody came up, doing the location scouting and meeting with the film community out there and figuring out our incentives and how we were going to work our budget out. And if we didn’t make a day or were behind schedule, I was the one who had to answer those questions.�

Oscar-winner Charlize Theron played the role of supportive girlfriend during her visit to the Sarasota Film Festival..

Her longtime boyfriend, Stuart Townsend, wrote and directed his first film, “Battle in Seattle,” which was to be shown in back-to-back screenings Sunday night.

Though she took center stage as an award recipient at the film festival ball Saturday night, she tried valiantly to downplay her presence and to promote Townsend and the film.

She did the same thing during an often serious, occasionally banter-filled conversation with Townsend and co-stars Martin Henderson and Michelle Rodriguez Sunday afternoon.

Townsend talked about the difficulty of writing his first script for the film about the riots that erupted during the World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle in 1999.

“I take my hat off to him,” Theron said. “When you’re lucky enough to witness somebody, and in this case somebody I love, go through an experience like this, it’s wonderful.”

Hello all! I have a lovely little treat for you today. A brand new streaming video archive courtesy of my lovely host, The Fan Sites Network. Please note that it is to be considered beta for now, just until they can see how how the streaming media service will affect servers, etc. and how well the scripts the various sites using this new service will work. So far the one I’m using is working very well and I hope you will all enjoy the new videos that I’ve posted there. Among the new videos available for viewing are Charlize’s recent appearances on “Oprah,” “Regis and Kelly” and “Good Morning America,” just to name a few.

I’d love to hear feedback about this new feature, so feel free and post comments below or email me directly with any comments you may have. Thanks in advance and enjoy the new vids.
