Terry Pheto may be new to this acting thing but she’s doing well for someone based in South Africa. The young beauty has two movie releases scheduled for next year including one monumental role that’ll have Hollywood tongues wagging. Read more below…July 2007: Terry Pheto
Age: 26.
Provenance: Vaal Triangle, South Africa.
Walked the red carpet at the 2006 Academy Awards … on account of her starring role in Tsotsi, which won the Oscar for best foreign-language film.
Walked it like she talked it because … Pheto is a product of a poor, crime-ravaged township outside of Johannesburg, much like the one where Tsotsi takes place.
Next: She'll play a daughter of Nelson Mandela's in Bille August's Goodbye Bafana, a film based on the memoirs of one of Mandela's white prison guards. And after that? "Audition, audition, audition. Unlike Hollywood, we in South Africa don't have enough movies being made. Therefore your choices are very limited."
