She got an Oscar for proving that. Streep and few others can be "leading ladies" but Theron is "another person entirely". She is scary and condemned to playing strong character leads not herself reciting a script.

Perhaps Ridley didn't want too much distraction from his story line....much the same as Kubrick's selection of O'Neal in "Barry Lyndon". Let the cattle be props as the audience expects humans to walk and talk.
