1. Charlize Theron – “Monster.”
This transformation of Charlize once impressed the audience and critics to the core. For the role of the first female serial killer in the United States Selby Wall Theron not only changed the appearance beyond recognition. Curve dentures, a set of weight – 13 kg, crippling makeup – these are little things that are capable for almost any actor for a good fee. But Charlize managed the impossible mission – for a woman, who got used to feel beautiful from childhood, is difficult to truly understand the inner world of the ugly woman with her doubts, pain and hate. And in 2003 Charlize Theron got the Oscar for the Best Actress for that, not for the scary makeup.
2. Demi Moore “GI Jane.”
For the role of Lieutenant Jordan O’Neil, the only woman in the men’s squad, “sea lions”, Demi Moore has not only fearlessly shaved her head, but a few months trained at a special forces training program. Her training included an obstacle race, fighting techniques, training with free weights to build muscle mass, mountain biking, boating, swimming and much more. As a result, despite the “Golden Raspberry” award, the film became a cult classic, and the scenes where Demi presses on one hand are one of the most recognizable in the world cinema.
3. Rooney Mara – “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.”
The actress, who looked like a typical “good girl” – so boring that it is difficult to identify her in the photos. Who would have thought that Rooney will not only change beyond recognition for the cult film “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, but also to adapt her new image to everyday life. For the role of Lisbeth Salander actress made a real eyebrow, nose and lips piercing, dyed her hair black and radically discolored her eyebrows. Cheeky geometric haircut stayed with Rooney after the shooting – now she is on the list of the most stylish stars.
4. Cynthia Nixon – the play “Wit.”
Red-haired actress Cynthia Nixon – Miranda from the beloved TV series “Sex and the City” – also made big sacrifices, but not for a movie, for the theater. Cynthia had to shave bald and to lose weight for the role in the Broadway play “Wit.” The actress has played a literature professor Vivian Biaring who is having a course of chemotherapy. Her character is incurably ill and appears on the scene in a white hospital gown. This topic is familiar to Nixon not by hearsay – in 2006 she was diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage, but, in contrast to the heroine, the actress did not have to undergo the chemotherapy. The actress was convincing – the audience gave a standing ovation at the premiere for a few minutes after the curtain fell, the critics have written a lot of positive reviews, and Nixon won the Tony for the best acting.
