Yes Ma'am Monday - Charlize Theron

Ma'am /mam/ noun
 - term of respectful or polite address used for a woman.
 - term of address for a ranking female officer.
 - term utilized for a person of the female gender that just saved your sorry butt from a horde of genetically mutated Nazi undead super soldiers.

Charlize Theron is a serious actress, having played serious roles in serious films. Fortunately for AAGG fans, she's not afraid of doing the occasional action/sci-fi flick.

Her credits include The Italian Job (2003), Prometheus (2012) and Aeon Flux (2005). I was also very stoked to learn that she'll be in the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road (2014).

In the realm of Hollywood, pretty faces are a dime a dozen. But Ms. Theron has gotten to where she is not only because of her stunning looks, but because of her amazing acting skills. Also, she simply has this presence, this look in her eyes that automatically precludes one would never utter the words "Sure babe" in response to a query from her.

One would instinctually put forth: Yes ma'am!

And with this being Action A Go Go, here's an image of Ms. Theron using a flamethrower. If you look closely, I'd say that looks like a smile on her face!
