| Biography:
Cameron Diaz started out as a model who left
home to live in Japan after she landed a contract with the (corrupt) Elite
Modeling Agency. Soon she was modeling all over the world, from Mexico to
Australia, from Paris to Morocco, continuing to build her modeling career
and earn a great living. Cameron appeared in advertisements for large
companies such as Calvin Klein, Coca-Cola, and Levi's.
Cameron Diaz then shot to stardom at the tender age of 21 when she landed a
potentially sky-rocketing role opposite rising superstar comedian Jim Carrey
in The Mask. With her foot well in the door of Hollywood films, she was next
afforded the chance to kick Hollywood ass in the feature film version of
Mortal Kombat. For this role, Diaz would require martial arts training. But
luck would send Diaz down a different road after she injured her wrist
karate-chopping her trainer's head. Cameron Diaz instead returned to some
high-paying modeling jobs and found smaller, low-paying roles in independent
films.
Cameron played a character named Jude in The Last Supper (1995) - "I did the
Last Supper simply to get the opportunity to work with other actors. I never
had any other experience acting other than The Mask." It was during this
year (1995) that Cameron ended her longstanding, 5-year relationship with
Carlos de La Torre. In Feeling Minnesota (1996), she runs off with her
brother-in-law (Keanu Reeves). In She's the One (1996), Cameron sleeps with
bros. Ed Burns and Mike McGlone. Strangely, many of Cameron's acting roles
involved playing vulnerable females, often tied-up; Cameron also displays
her well-shaped body in these movies with swimsuits and several swimming
scenes.
Returning to the big-studio films, Cameron's task was to star side-by-side
with Hollywood cutie Julia Roberts who was also making somewhat of a return
in My Best Friend's Wedding. The summer romantic comedy scored well among
critics. Cameron then went on to A Live Less Ordinary by Danny Boyle with
kidnapper Ewan McGregor.
Cameron has relatively recently starred in her two biggest movies yet - the
Faralley brothers' There's Something About Mary with her ex-beau and costar
Matt Dillon, and Charlie's Angels. Cameron is now as popular as ever! |
