Cameron Diaz Info
Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972. At first she began a career as a model and then became a popular actress, gaining fame in films as as The Mask, There’s Something About Mary, and Charlie’s Angels. She also voiced the character of Princess Fiona in the Shrek movie empire.
Cameron was born in San Diego, California, and comes from a Cuban-American and English-German-Cherokee lineage. She started her modeling career at the age of 17, at which age she became a covergirl on Seventeen magazine. At 18, she signed with Elite Model Management. She worked as a model for the next few years and had contracts with many big companies, such as Calvin Klein and Levi’s.
When she was 21, Cameron tried out for a part in The Mask. She had no prior acting experience but obtained the lead female part in any case. At that point, she decided it was probably time to begin acting lessons, which she did. The Mask went on to become one of the top ten grossing films in 1994 and earned her nominations for several awards.
Cameron was featured in a string of smaller roles over the next several years and then had big time success with My Best Friend’s Wedding and There’s Something About Mary. She went on to star in a film rendition of Charlie’s Angels and then landed the part as Princess Fiona in Shrek. Her speaking part earned her $10 million for that role.
Many more films came and went, and in 2010, Forbes Magazine ranked her as the richest Hispanic female celebrity.
