CAMERON DIAZ BIOGRAPHY:
A tall, strikingly attractive
blue-eyed natural blonde, Cameron Diaz was born in 1972 in San Diego, the
daughter of a Cuban-American father and an Anglo-German mother. Self described
as "adventurous, independent and a tough kid," Cameron left home
at 16 and for the next 5 years lived in such varied locales as Japan, Australia,
Mexico, Morocco, and Paris. Returning to California at the age of 21, she
was working as a model when she auditioned for a big part in Mask, The (1994)
To her amazement and despite having no previous acting experience, she was
cast as the female lead in the film opposite Jim Carrey. Over the next 3 years,
she honed her acting skills in such low budget independent films as Last Supper,
The (1995); Feeling Minnesota (1996); and Head Above Water (1996). She returned
to main stream films in My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), in which she held
her own against veteran actress Julia Roberts. She earned full fledged star
status in 1998 for her performance in the box office smash There's Something
About Mary (1998). With her name near the top on virtually every list of Hollyood's
sexiest actresses, and firmly established as one of filmdom's hottest properties
and most sought after actresses, Cameron Diaz appears to possess everything
necessary to become one of the super stars of the new century.

It is hard to believe
that Cameron's first movie role was playing the female lead in the hilarious
Jim Carrey triumph The Mask. She did an excellent job, and came as a surprise
to everyone who saw the movie. People were without a doubt looking around
and asking each other; "who is she and where did she come from?"
The truth is, Cameron
Diaz started out as a model who left home to live in Japan when she landed
a contract with the Elite Modeling Agency. Cameron started to appear in different
advertisements. She appeared in ads for Calvin Klein, Coca-Cola, and Levi's.
Soon though, Cameron
decided that modeling was not enough for her. She decided to move on to acting.
After auditioning for The Mask, she got the role. The movie proved to be a
success, but after making her mark Cameron decided to take on some independent
film roles in such movies as Fleeting Minnesota, She's the One, and others.
Her next big role came when she appeared alongside Jennifer Aniston in the
romantic comedy titled My Best Friend's Wedding. After also starring in A
Life Less Ordinary (with Ewan McGreggor), Cameron landed the part that would
be her biggest hit to-date; There's Something About Mary, one of summer's
biggest grossing movies.
