Mini 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 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.
