Biografía
Cameron grew up in Southern California and her family's lineage includes Cuban, German and Native American. Cameron Diaz made her feature film debut at age 21, captivating moviegoers as femme fatale Tina Carlisle in The Mask. In addition to becoming one of Jim Carrey's biggest hits, "The Mask" gained distinction as the film that launched Cameron Diaz' career in motion pictures.
As a follow-up to The Mask, Cameron chose a small, independent ensemble film called The Last Supper with a first-time feature director. In the black comedy, she played a condescending, liberal graduate student amongst a talented ensemble cast that included Annabeth Gish, Ron Eldard and Courtney B. Vance. Her third feature was writer/director Steven Baigelman's offbeat love story, Feeling Minnesota, in which she co-starred with Keanu Reeves, playing a white trash bride who falls in love with her brother-in-law. She went on to play a cold, manipulative New Yorker in Edward Burns' eagerly-anticipated follow-up to his critically-acclaimed The Brothers McMullen, a working-class romantic comedy called She's the One. Next, she starred opposite Harvey Keitel in Head Above Water, a thriller about a respectable judge, his wife, her ex-lover, their neighbour and a dead body that wouldn't go away.
In 1996, Cameron was named ShoWest's Female Star of Tomorrow by the National Association of Theatre Owners and My Best Friend's Wedding – her first studio film since The Mask – would go on to become one of the biggest hits of the summer of 1997 and one of the 10 top-grossing films of that year. Starring opposite Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett as a sweet debutante on the eve of her nuptials, My Best Friend's Wedding gave Cameron an opportunity to show yet another side of her many talents, capturing the hearts of critics and moviegoers in the process. Her performance earned her the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favourite Supporting Actress in a Comedy, voted on by more than 11 million customers of Blockbuster Video internationally. In A Life Less Ordinary – from yet another talented young filmmaker, director Danny Boyle of "Trainspotting" and "Slumdog Millionaire" fame – Cameron starred opposite Ewan McGregor, playing a spoiled, unhappy rich girl who falls in love with the janitor who accidentally kidnaps her.
For her performance in the title role in the romantic comedy There's Something About Mary, Cameron was honoured with the New York Film Critics Circle Award as Best Actress, in addition to a Golden Globe nomination, the American Comedy Award, the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favourite Movie Actress and the MTV Movie Award for Best Female Performance. Directed by Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the 20th Century Fox feature was released to worldwide box-office success in July 1998 and also set records in its subsequent release on video and DVD.
Following the dark comedy, Very Bad Things, written and directed by actor-filmmaker Peter Berg and starring Christian Slater, Cameron starred in Being John Malkovich, opposite John Cusack, Catherine Keener and John Malkovich. Directed by Academy Award-nominee Spike Jonze, the film captured the imaginations of filmgoers around the world and Cameron's performance was nominated for a Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild Award and the British Academy of Film (BAFTA) Award, while the film amassed numerous awards, nominations and other honors for the film, cast and filmmakers. Critics raved about the film and the performances, including Cameron's portrayal of Lotte, which was described by one critic as "such a subtle and seamless performance that, even if you're a fan, you may go for most of the movie without recognizing her."
Cameron played a tough young owner of a professional football team in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday as part of an all-star cast including Al Pacino, Jamie Foxx, Dennis Quaid, LL Cool J, James Woods and Ann-Margaret. Her career continued to soar with Sony Pictures' feature film version of the iconic 70's television series, Charlie's Angels, opposite Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu and Bill Murray. The film broke the domestic box office record for a non-holiday weekend and grossed $265 million worldwide, winning two MTV Movie Awards for Best On Screen Team and Best Dance Sequence. The sequel, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle was released in 2003 and grossed over $250 million worldwide. Cameron also appeared in The Invisible Circus, based on a novel by Jennifer Egan and co-starring Jordana Brewster, Camilla Belle and Christopher Eccleston and was seen in Rodrigo Garcia's Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her with Glenn Close, Calista Flockhart, Amy Brenneman and Holly Hunter.
She first provided the voice of the feisty Princess Fiona in DreamWorks' worldwide animated hit Shrek with Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow in 2001. Shrek was one of the most successful films of any genre that year, setting box office records and breaking more records with its release on video and DVD and appearing on dozens of critics lists of the best movies of 2001. The sequel, Shrek 2, also became one of the largest box-office hits ever, but was surpassed by Shrek the Third, which broke records in 2007, becoming the third-biggest opening in U.S. box office history and the films would attract the voice talents of such artists as Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews, Justin Timberlake and John Cleese, among many others.
In November 2007, ABC premiered DreamWorks Animation's Shrek the Halls, a half-hour special starring Shrek, Fiona and their friends, followed by the Halloween special, Scared Shrekless in 2010, both becoming instant holiday classics. With the final instalment, 2010's Shrek Forever After, the series has grossed over $3 billion worldwide.
Cameron co-starred in Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky, with Tom Cruise, Penelope Cruz, Jason Lee and Kurt Russell. Her performance as Julie Gianni was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, an AFI Award and a SAG Award and Cameron was chosen Best Supporting Actress by the Boston Society of Film Critics and the Chicago Film Critics Association. In spring 2002, she starred in the sexy comedy, The Sweetest Thing, which co-starred Christina Applegate and Selma Blair. She was nominated for another Golden Globe for her performance in Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-nominated Gangs of New York, which was shot on location in Rome opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson. She starred in the critically-acclaimed In Her Shoes, opposite Toni Collette and Shirley MacLaine for director Curtis Hansen and opposite Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy, The Holiday. She starred in the What Happens in Vegas opposite Ashton Kutcher, as well as the emotional family drama, My Sister's Keeper and the sci-fi thriller The Box. She reunited with Tom Cruise in 2010 for the action-packed Knight and Day, directed by James Mangold, which grossed over $260 million worldwide. In 2011, she appeared in another worldwide box office hit, Michel Gondry's The Green Hornet with Seth Rogen, which brought in over $227 million worldwide.
In 2011, she dominated the box office once again with the dark comedy Bad Teacher, directed by Jake Kasdan, which became her 17th movie to cross the $100 million mark worldwide, grossing over $216 million globally and earning Teen Choice Awards for Favourite Movie Actress and Favourite Movie Comedy. Of her performance in the film, one critic rhapsodized: "Cameron Diaz eats the screen in Bad Teacher and the screen says thank you. It hasn't been eaten like this since the gifted actress-comedienne starred in There's something About Mary...Diaz herself joins the comic skills of Carole Lombard to a body that looks like a scenic railway. Her heroine's indefatigable delinquency is put over with charm and gusto, spring cleaning an entire history of classroom movies."
Over the course of 2004 and early 2005, Cameron took on a worldwide adventure with MTV for a 10-episode series, entitled "Trippin.'" Joined by an ever-changing group of travellers, Cameron and her crew explored some of the most exotic, environmentally unique places on the planet while discovering ways to help preserve them.
In addition to Golden Globe nominations for her performances in There's Something About Mary, Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky and Gangs of New York and numerous other awards and nominations, Cameron has been honoured with a People's Choice Award as Favourite Leading Lady in 2007 and received Nickelodeon's Kids' Choice "Wannabe" Award, recognizing her as a role model in 2008. After being honoured as ShoWest's Female Star of Tomorrow in 1996, she came full circle as the organization's Female Star of the Year in 2011. She achieved another career pinnacle in 2009, when she received a star on the legendary Hollywood Walk of Fame.
