Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972 in San Diego, California. The daughter of Emilio Diaz, a second-generation Cuban-American oil company foreman, and his wife Billie, who is of Native American, Italian, and German descent, Diaz began modeling when she was 16 years old. Her successful modeling career took her to Japan, Australia, Morocco and Paris, among other locales, and landed her in such magazines as Mademoiselle andSeventeen as well as advertising campaigns for companies like Calvin Klein, Coca-Cola and Levi’s. In 1994, Diaz won her first film role in the blockbuster action-comedy The Mask, starring rubber-faced comic Jim Carrey. She made a successful return to mainstream movies in 1997, winning raves for her portrayal of a sweet bride-to-be opposite Julia Roberts in the playful comedy hit My Best Friend’s Wedding.
After starring opposite Ewan McGregor in the uneven romantic comedy A Life Less Ordinary (1997), Diaz made the leap to A-list Hollywood stardom with her savvy comic turn in the unapologetically crude surprise summer blockbuster There’s Something About Mary, costarring Ben Stiller and Matt Dillon and written and directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly.
In 2002, she was featured in the romantic comedy The Sweetest Thing and Gangs of New York. The following year she joined the sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. After rom-com The Holiday (2006) and the raunchy What Happens in Vegas(2008), Diaz showed her more serious side in the 2009 family drama My Sister’s Keeper. Diaz returned to serious fare in the foreboding drama/thriller The Counselor.
