a lot of testosterone for a woman."

She
was born in 1972 to a Cuban-American father and
an Anglo-German mother. Cameron Diaz describes her
childhood as being "adventurous, independent, and
tough." Then Cameron left home at 16 to see the
world. For the next 5 years, she lived in Japan,
Australia, Mexico, Morocco, and Paris working as
a model. The Elite agency picked her up, and shipped
her around the world. Her credits include Mademoiselle,
Seventeen, Calvin Klein, Levi's, and Coca-Cola.
She returned to California at the age of 21, continuing
work as a model. She spontaneously auditioned for
a big part in The Mask. She recieved the role, despite
no previous acting experience. Must have been those
stunning good looks?
She didn't
understand the imporance of her role until after
the movie debuted. Also playing into Cameron's favor
was that this film was one of Jim Carrey's early
and great films. So her role received a great deal
of attention. It looked like nothing could stop
her now! But then she injured her wrist, screwing
up plans to star in Mortal Kombat. Instead of again
taking roles in big-budget blockbusters, Cameron
signed on to do The Last Supper, Feeling Minnesota,
and Head Above Water. All of the films garnered
mixed critical praise, but did nothing for making
Diaz a household name. Finally, in 1997 she returned
to the big-time as Julia Roberts' competition in
"My Best Friend's Wedding." The film opened to a
huge box office ticket, and helped launch both Diaz
and costar Rupert Everett. Cementing her status
as a Hollywood heavyweight, Cameron turned in one
of the funniest performances of the year in 1998's
"There's Something About Mary." |
