Today is the legendary, Oscar-winning, Hall-of-Famer Charlize Theron's 42ndbirthday - and it probably goes as no surprise that it doesn't look like she's aged a day. She's officially been doing nude scenes for more than 20 years (despite some serious acting chops) and it doesn't seem like she's slowing down anytime soon.

The South Africa beauty started off her career as a model and a dancer before sustaining an injury the propelled her into a different kind of show biz. And though she speaks fluent, perfect English, her first language is actually Afrikaans. (Oh, and we've all been pronouncing her name wrong, but more on that later.) For now, let's take a trip down mammory lane, shall we?
