His first major role was as Jim Carrey’s partner in the crazy ‘The Mask’, later titles like ‘Something About Mary’, ‘Vanilla Sky’ or ‘How to be John Malkovich’ would come.
Cameron Diaz was a myth of cinema in the late 20th century and early 21st century, but he gave up acting to take care of his daughter. The cinema still longs for her.
Born in San Diego, California on August 30, 1972, he is of Anglo-Saxon, Spanish, German, and Cherokee descent. At the age of 15 she started a career as a model. After graduating from high school, he went to work in Japan, where he met director Carlos de la Torre. Upon her return to the United States, her modeling career took her around the world and worked on contracts for major companies.
Her first acting job was in a 1992 softcore short film, “She’s No Angel,” directed by John Rutter, in which she played a naked girl. Her career takes off when she is selected in 1994 as Jim Carrey’s female opponent in the Chuck Russell film ‘The Mask’. The actress went to the Sitges Festival to present the film, and it sparked passions, just a prologue to what would later come around the world.
Successes soon followed, such as the romantic comedy ‘My best friend’s wedding’ (1997), ‘A different story’ (1997), by Danny Boyle, or the comedy ‘Something’s wrong with Mary’ (1998), which placed her as the great comedic actress of the moment. For her role in the film ‘How to be John Malkovich’ (1999), she received nominations for the Golden Globes, the BAFTA Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Supporting Actress, dedicating her as a great actress.
Director Oliver Stone offers him a role in 1999’s ‘Any Given Sunday’. In 2000, Diaz co-starred with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu in ‘Charlie’s Angels’, a comedy remake of the famous television series. The following year, Diaz teams up with Tom Cruise on “Vanilla Sky.” His later works include ‘Things I’d Say Just by Looking at Her’, by Rodrigo García, or ‘The Sweetest Thing’ (2002), ‘Gangs of New York’, by Martin Scorsese and he made a small appearance in ‘Minority Report’ commissioned by Steven Spielberg. In 2005 he starred in Curtis Hanson’s ‘In his shoes’, in 2008 he tried to repeat the success, with worse results than ‘Something About Mary’ with the movie ‘Something Happens in Las Vegas’ ‘ and in 2009 he repeats it filming with Tom Cruise, this time for the movie ‘Night and Day’, which was partly shot in Spain. In 2011, she teamed up with director Jake Kasdan in “Bad Teacher” and played a journalist in a version of the 1940 film “The Green Hornet.” That year, Diaz was featured in CeoWorld magazine’s “Top Accomplished Women Artists”. In 2012, she starred in “What to Expect When You Expect,” and in 2013, she was named the highest paid actress over 40 in Hollywood.
After breaking up with her longtime boyfriend Carlos de la Torre, after five years of dating, Cameron had romantic relationships with public figures such as Matt Dillon, Jared Leto, with whom she had a stable four-year relationship, Justin Timberlake, Paul Sculfor and with singer Justin Timberlake. In 2014, Diaz stars as the cruel Miss Colleen Hannigan, who runs the orphanage in a new film adaptation of the 1977 musical ‘Annie’, and in January 2015, her marriage to musician Benji Madden in Beverly Hills is revealed. At that time, the actress also got her daughter for a surrogate mother, whom she named Raddix. Cameron Diaz, after becoming a mother and fulfilling her promise to make ‘Sex Tape: Something Happen in the Cloud’ (2014), announces that she would stop acting to devote all her efforts to taking care of her daughter because she is able to also focus on her career as a businesswoman. The actress owns a wine brand called Avaline.
