Actress Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz was born in August 1972 in California. She has a Spanish surname and comes from her second-generation Cuban-American father, who was a foreman at a California oil company. Her half-English, half-German mother worked as a stockbroker.
Young Cameron did not belong to the category of good girls - she and her older sister loved skateboarding, knew how to stand up for themselves in a fight and preferred heavy rock. My parents encouraged my sisters - my father approved of their victories in street fights, and my mother went with them to concerts of Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne.
But most of all, Cameron and her sister loved tinkering with animals - there were several cats, two snakes, as well as mice and birds in their house to feed these predators. Cameron's parents and their friends even envisioned a career as a zoologist. But fate decreed otherwise. At the age of 16, Cameron received an invitation from photographer Jeff Dunasse to work in a modeling agency. The temptation for a teenage girl was too great - the contract was signed, and her father signed it, because Cameron was too young. It turned out, however, that the girl was perfect for this path - two years later, her fees averaged two thousand dollars per day of filming.
Cameron Diaz's film career began just like in a fairy tale. After reading the script of the movie "Mask", which came to her quite by accident, the model stated that she wanted to play the role of a seductive singer from a nightclub. She had no acting training, she did not even have to participate in amateur performances. Although everything was against her-she couldn't even sing or dance, Cameron went through 12 auditions at the studio and got the role. Her unique charm captivated the producers of the film.
The film "Mask", starring Jim Carrey, quickly became a commercial super hit. Cameron's work has also received positive reviews from critics. An aspiring actress even gets the title of "Most Promising Actress of the Year." Deciding to pursue her acting career seriously, Cameron enrolled in acting classes to acquire professional skills.
Cameron becomes the heroine of the front pages of famous tabloids again three years later, having played the bride of this friend in the film "Best friend's Wedding". It was, of course, a supporting role. Julia Roberts played the main role in this film. Cameron played her main role a year later in the witty comedy "Something about Mary". This film and its heroine conquered America. After him, Cameron Diaz became a real Hollywood star. Despite this fact, she avoided stardom. Diaz lives in an ordinary apartment, goes shopping by herself, dresses in everyday life like an ordinary citizen. She usually takes one of her cats to shoot - Cameron has kept her love for animals in adulthood.
Cameron Diaz's most notable and "expensive" roles were her roles in "Vanilla Sky" and "Charlie's Angels". She received $20 million for her work in the last film. The actress also took part in the creation of another super hit - she voiced the princess in the animated series "Shrek" - "Shrek 2" and "Shrek the Third". This work is also marked by excellent box office worldwide. https://xbae.ch/
