BACK STORY Back in 1995 directer Paul Venhoeven was looking for a young unknown actress for the lead part in his new movie. The choice ultimately boiled down to two. One finalist was Elizabeth Berkley, a 23 year old blonde, who had had minor rolls in a number of TV shows. The other was a 20 year old blonde, whose only show business part was in Children Of The Corn III. Her part lasted about a minute, running through the corn fields before she fell and was murdered. Her only dialogue was a scream. She wasn’t even credited. Her name was Charlize Theron. Berkley got the part. The movie was “Showgirls” and it was a disaster, It is known now, as one of the worst movies of all time That movie ended Berkley’s movie career. No need to tell what happened to the loser, Miss Theron

BEFORE Berkley takes the podium first. “I’ve known my opponent for over twenty years. We auditioned for the same part. I saw her audition. She was terrible. After seeing her, I knew I had the part. She has never forgotten that I beat her in that acting competition. Six years later we fought in the FCBA. I had her beaten in the seventh. I floored her and had her ready to go, but I let up a little and she saved by the bell. She won that fight, but I am not going to make the same mistake tonight”.

Charlize takes the microphone. “I guess I wasn’t good in that audition, but I was lucky that I didn’t get that part. I would have been like Liz, having a mediocre television career. In that fight, she was talking about, it was a real brawl, but she fought dirty. She kept on fouling me until I put a stop to it. She probably doesn’t remember the end, so I will remind her tonight."
