@charlizeafrica has sustained a career in Hollywood for nearly 30 years because she still loves it and wants it to be better. (And because her kids are watching too.) “There’s a natural fight in me to want to create environments that feel like the things that I wish I had 30 years ago when I started,” she tells @leahchernikoff. In our October 22 cover story the actress, producer, and philanthropist opens up about motherhood—and making movies on her own terms.
