Charlize Theron autographed her "chicken cutlet" breast enhancers and gave them to two struggling actress to sell.

The actress was apparently driving down a residential street in Hollywood when she saw a sign for a garage sale.

Two young women were attempting to raise money for their rent, and explained to Theron they were trying to break into the movie industry.

Feeling sorry for them, she explained the importance of "being true to your passion" and never accepting defeat. The star then decided to give the pair something else to help their plight.

"Charlize reached under her dress, discreetly slipped her silicone 'chicken cutlets' C-cup enhancers out of her bra, handed them to the girls and said, 'Here, you can sell these and tell everyone they're mine. In fact give me a pen...' and she autographed the pair for the excited girls," reports National Enquirer.

The two women were thrilled and thanked Theron for helping them.

They immediately placed the intimate items on their table for sale, where they caught the eye of a number of young men.

The breast enhancers eventually sold for $1000 (NZ$1282).
