Choose The Best Actresses and We'll Guess Your Favorite One

For some actresses breaking into the world of entertainment is tough. It can take years to get even the smallest roles and there is no guarantee that they will ever make it big. The competition in Hollywood is intense, but sometimes just being in the right place at the right time can make a huge difference.

Take Charlize Theron for example. She came to L.A. and struggled to find work, having to rely on her mom to help with her rent. One day she had a loud tantrum in a local bank because they wouldn't cash a cheque for her and that's when she was spotted and picked up by a talent agent.

Emma Watson also had no acting training or experience (apart from school plays) when she auditioned for the role of Hermione in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone but she managed to land the part anyway and launch a successful life of movies.
