Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972. When she was only sixteen, Diaz began professionally modeling for major companies such as Coca-Cola and Calvin Klein. In 1994, Cameron Diaz starred in her first film, The Mask with Jim Carrey. Before the film was released, critics disapproved of Diaz as The Mask’s lead female role because of her total lack of acting experience and know how. However, even without previous experience Cameron Diaz was phenomenal as The Mask’s Tina Carlyle. After changing the opinions of several spectators, Cameron Diaz spent the next five years starring in seven different films alongside well-known actors such as Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston, Ben Stiller, John Cusak, Al Pacino, and Dennis Quaid. But she didn’t stop there. Diaz took on the role of one of Charlie’s Angels in the 2000 remake of the 1970’s TV show, and starred in the 2002 sequel. In ’01 Diaz gave life to Princess Fiona from the hit movie Shrek and has stayed with her character for the three following movies. Diaz’s most recent films were Bad Teacher (2011) and What to Expect When You’re Expecting (2012).
Cameron Diaz is not married and has no children, but according to a 2012 interview by People Magazine she said she does not oppose to the idea of marrying or children. “It just wasn’t the thing I was drawn to. I certainly didn’t want it in my 20s. Or my 30s.” But now at 41, Diaz says “We’ll see”. (Excerpt from People Magazine-October 2012 Edition)
