Cherize Theron (Monster)

Best performance by an actress (or actor) ever, period. She was mesmerizing showing the dark side of a very dark, sometimes disgusting and  damaged human being. With all the things about Elieen Warnous (spelling bad), Ms. Theron, I believe, could have captured that woman as well as anyone ever could. I'm sure the movie takes many facts and distorts them, but the fact that you at times, actually felt  some simpathy, if not empathy at some of the more emotionally intimate moments of the movie/character was brilliant. To be able to bring all this to a character so spiritually and emotionally fractured and make it totally believable, was pure genius.

she did an excellent job in this role as a prostitute who becomes a serial killer. she was willing to gain 30 pounds use very unattractive make up job. could not even recognise her. terrific portrayal.
