Charlize Theron on resilience, beauty and parenting. Two entrepreneurs – an ice-cream maker and the
owner of SA’s first French crêperie – tell us how they hit the sweet spot. An exclusive sit-down with restaurateur-chef-TV presenter and writer, Prue Leith.

Charlize Theron has found longevity in variety, juggling producing with acting and taking on roles in everything from rom-coms and action flicks to acclaimed dramas. In fact, she was instrumental in getting Bombshell made – for which she snagged a best actress Oscar nomination earlier this year – saving the project by restructuring the finances when an investor pulled out. Margaret Gardiner chatted to the actress about the prescience of Bombshell, motherhood and living life on her own terms.
