10. Charlize Theron
In recent years, the gorgeous, talented, fierce-eyed Charlize Theron has made her move towards roles as a producer on upcoming feature productions, having already established herself on top as one of the most acclaimed actresses of her time for her unparalleled deliverance in roles like Aileen Wuornos in Monster (for which she received an Oscar), as well as her roles in Mad Max: Fury Road and Prometheus.
