Theron hopes playing killer will help her shed orange dress
If nothing else, Charlize Theron hopes playing serial killer Aileen Wuornos will make people forget the orange dress. The form-fitting gown she wore to the 2000 Oscars apparently was so memorable that Theron believes that it actually hurt her career. "I can't tell you how many times I've auditioned for a role, only to have my agent come back and say, "Listen, Charlize, they saw you in the orange dress and they don't think you can do it." Patty Jenkins of "Monster" never saw the orange dress. And that proved fortunate for Theron, who was just nominated for a Golden Globe for her remarkable performance, in which she plays a woman who murdered men to support her girlfriend.
