Biography
A tall, strikingly attractive blue-eyed bottle blonde,
Cameron Diaz was born in 1972 in San Diego. She is the daughter of
Billie (Anglo-German) and Emilio Diaz (Cuban-American). 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 her agency secured her an
audition for the female lead in The Mask (1994). Despite having no
previous acting experience, she made a strong impression and was cast as
the sultry lounge singer, "Tina Carlyle". The film was one of 1994's
biggest hits and launched her into stardom virtually overnight. However,
she preferred to feel her way effectively into the industry and stayed
away from large studio films for the next three years. She honed her
acting skills in such character-driven independent films as The Last
Supper (1995/I); Feeling Minnesota (1996); and Head Above Water (1996).
She stepped back into the mainstream in 1997 with My Best Friend's
Wedding (1997) and A Life Less Ordinary (1997). The following year, her
status as a super star was firmly cemented when she played the title
role in the box office smash There's Something About Mary (1998).
Cameron Diaz is now one of filmdom's hottest properties and most
sought-after actresses
Modeling
At age 16, she began her career as a fashion model, contracted with a modeling agency Elite Model Management. For the next few years, she worked around the world on contracts for companies such as Calvin Klein and Levi's.
[11] When she was age 17, she was featured on the front cover of the July 1990 issue of
Seventeen.
[12]

At age 19 Cameron Diaz starred in
She's No Angel, a 1992 soft core bondage movie. At age 21, Diaz auditioned for
The Mask,
[13]
based on the recommendation of an agent for Elite, who met the film's
producers while they were searching for the female main actress. Having
no previous acting experience, she started acting lessons after being
cast.
The Mask became one of the top ten highest grossing films of 1994.
[14] Diaz's performance as the sultry lounge singer Tina Carlyle earned her nominations for several awards
[15] and launched her as a sex symbol.
[16][17]
Preferring to feel her way effectively into the industry, Diaz
avoided large studio films for the next three years and took roles in
the independent films
The Last Supper (1995),
Feeling Minnesota (1996),
She's the One (1996), and
Head Above Water (1996). She was scheduled to feature in the film
Mortal Kombat, but had to resign after breaking her hand while training for the role.
[18] During this time she earned considerable tabloid fame for being actor Matt Dillon's steady date, 1995 through 1998.
Diaz returned to mainstream films with
My Best Friend's Wedding and
A Life Less Ordinary, both released in 1997. The following year, she played the title role in the smash hit
There's Something About Mary (1998), for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the category of
Best Actress – Musical or Comedy.
[11] She received critical acclaim for her performance in
Being John Malkovich (1999), which earned her Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards, and the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG Awards). Between 1998 and 2000, Diaz featured in many movies, such as
Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her,
Very Bad Things,
Any Given Sunday, and the successful adaptation of
Charlie's Angels.
[11] In 2001, she won nominations for Best Supporting Actress for the Golden Globe Awards, the SAG Awards, the Critics' Choice Awards, and the American Film Institute Awards for
Vanilla Sky, and also voiced Princess Fiona in the movie
Shrek,
[11] for which she earned $10 million.
In 2010,
Forbes Magazine ranked Cameron Diaz as the richest Hispanic female celebrity, ranking number 60 among the wealthiest 100.
[22][23] Also that year, Diaz voiced Princess Fiona for the movie
Shrek Forever After, and reunited with her
Vanilla Sky co-star Tom Cruise in the action adventure
Knight and Day. In 2011, she played Lenore Case, the journalist in the remake of the 1940s film
The Green Hornet, and was the central lead in the hit comedy
Bad Teacher. She was listed among
CEOWORLD magazine's Top Accomplished Women Entertainers.
[24]
Personal life
Diaz received "substantial" defamation damages from suing American Media Incorporated, after
The National Enquirer had claimed she was cheating on Justin Timberlake.
[25] She endorsed Al Gore publicly during 2000. Diaz wore a t-shirt that read "I won't vote for a son of a Bush!" while making publicity visits for
Charlie's Angels.
[26] Diaz has also been involved with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the first and largest nonprofit organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has spoken as an advocate for military families.
[27] Although she was quoted by a 1997
Time magazine article as saying she was germophobic,
[28] Diaz specifically denied this on the June 26, 2009, edition of
Real Time with Bill Maher, saying that a small comment she made 12 years earlier regarding public bathroom doorknobs was distorted out of proportion.
[29] On April 15, 2008, Cameron's father, Emilio Diaz, died at the age of 58 from pneumonia.
[30]
Relationships
From 1990 to December 1994, Diaz cohabited with video producer Carlos de la Torre.
[31][32] In 1995, Diaz dated actor Vincent D'Onofrio during the production of
Feeling Minnesota.
[32] Later in 1995, she began a relationship with actor Matt Dillon. The relationship ended in December 1998.
[33] She began dating Jared Leto in 1999, and the couple became engaged in 2000.
[34] In 2003, they ended their four-year relationship.
[35] Diaz dated singer Justin Timberlake from 2003 to 2006.
[33] In October 2004, Diaz and Timberlake were in an altercation with a tabloid
photographer outside a hotel. When the photographer and another man
tried to photograph them, the couple snatched the camera. Pictures of
the incident appeared in
Us Weekly. Representatives for the pair claimed that they were acting a scene on a set.
[36] Diaz was in a romantic relationship with New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriguez from July 2010 to September 2011.
