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 The Mask (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 The Last Supper (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.
