Surely everyone knows the name of the famous Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz. Despite its popularity, it is completely devoid of star fever and considers this a fabrication of journalists. Cameron is a very open and sociable person. She likes to talk, talk about life, but only when the interlocutor is sincerely interested in her affairs, and not trying to find out the juicy details of her personal life. So what is Cameron Diaz's biography?
Childhood
In the state of California, in the town of San Diego on August 30, 1972, a second daughter was born to the family of Billy Diaz and Emilio Diaz, who was named Cameron. The girl’s mother was half German, half English, and her father was Cuban. He has worked for over 20 years at the California State Oil Company. Billy Diaz had a specialty
import and export agent
.Cameron spent her childhood in San Diego. She and her sister were never calm and obedient children. Girls preferred to listen to hard rock, to spend all their free time at parties with local guys. In addition, having an explosive temperament, both could easily break the offender's nose, completely ignoring what gender and age.
The mother was very calm about her daughter’s musical preferences, perhaps because she herself sometimes liked to listen to the heavy “Mouzon”. She often attended concerts with Cameron at which the then-famous Metallica and Ozzy Ozborn performed.
In fact, Cameron Diaz, whose filmography includes more than 40 films, in her childhood dreamed of becoming a zoologist. What animals did not live at her place! These were snakes, and cats, and mice, and all kinds of birds. Thoughts about the career of the actress did not attend her at that time.
Career model
At 16, at a regular party, the girl liked the photographer D. Dunas. The growth of Cameron Diaz was then (and now has not changed) 175 centimeters, which favorably distinguished her from the crowd of not only the surrounding girls, but also some guys. Jeff Dunas invited her to a casting at the Elite agency, where he worked at that time. Having passed the selection, the girl quickly concluded a contract, which she never regretted. After all, for one day of filming she was paid about $ 2,000.
And from the age of sixteen, Cameron began to work as a model in "Elite". She posed for glossy magazines like Seventeen. The girl also starred in commercials for the fashion house of Kelvin Klein and Coca-Cola.
Working as a model, Cameron traveled a lot, she visited many countries of the world. In late 1990, she firmly settled in Hollywood, twisting an affair with producer Carlos de la Torre. Their relationship lasted five years.
Lucky case
1994 was the most successful year for Cameron Diaz. It was then that the premiere of the film "Mask" with Jim Carrey in the title role. The film was very peculiar and unusual, the special effects applied during the filming brought him stunning success. After the premiere of "The Mask," Cameron woke up famous. She was called the young talent and was even awarded the title “Most Promising Actress of the Year”. True, most skeptics claimed that her career would end there, without, in principle, having begun. But Diaz firmly decided to dispel these doubts and began to actively engage, simultaneously acting in a wide variety of films, sometimes playing quite serious roles.
If we talk in more detail about the start of an acting career, then for Diaz it began completely unexpectedly. The fact is that, even while living with Carlos, she did not think of becoming an actress, she did not take any lessons. And I saw the script of the film by accident. After reading it, Cameron decided to go to the test, and completely without any acting skills. The girl got the role after 12 auditions.
Actress career
We can say that luck just favors an actress like Cameron Diaz. The filmography of the girl is very diverse. There are no films that can be attributed to only one genre. The next picture, in which she starred, was a tape called "Feeling Minnesota" - the exact opposite of her first work.
Even more popular, the actress brought the film "Charlie's Angels", which simply shone with its star cast. Indeed, in addition to Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu starred in it.
Despite the starring roles, Cameron Diaz (the filmography shows that almost no film with her participation was left unattended) continues to voice characters in cartoons and act in many not-so-rated films. Despite this, films with her participation always stand out among similar tapes. This girl with her unique charm and charm, sincere smile attracts fans like a magnet.
In 1997, Cameron starred in the movie "Best Friend's Wedding." Despite the fact that the actress got the role of only the second plan, this film again brought her overwhelming success. As claimed by most critics, in this film Diaz managed to outshine Julia Roberts, the lead singer, with her play. After the film was released, the most sought-after actress of that period was Cameron Diaz.
The filmography of the actress is simply replete with a wide variety of projects. There are quite controversial films with her participation, for example, "Cutie", "Parcel."
Personal life
After breaking up with producer de la Tore, Diaz began an affair with Matt Dylan during the filming of “Feeling Minnesota.” It lasted almost three years.
The affair, which began with Jared Leto, led to an engagement after a year of meetings. This was even announced to reporters. However, despite this, after three years, the young people broke up.
In 2003, Cameron began dating Justin Timberlake. However, this novel lasted only three years.
In 2010, a relationship began between Diaz and the famous baseball player Alex Rodriguez, which lasted very little. Already in September 2011, they broke up.
Character
The actress has a wonderful character. She is sociable, open, very cheerful. Despite his achievements and successes, Diaz is completely devoid of
star fever. As Stephen Belgeiman, director of the movie Feeling Minnesota, recalls, Cameron has good culinary skills. On the set, she personally bought food and managed to cook dinner for the entire crew. But most of all, the combination of self-confidence, some kind of masculine humor and the lack of star manners captivates her.
The actress does not like when she imposed a generally accepted lifestyle. And in response to the question asked for the thousandth time when she will have children, Cameron Diaz answers that everything has its time. She is not a psychic and does not know how events in her life will develop further.
Interesting Facts
The actress is an ardent opponent of plastic surgery. But the most interesting thing is that she did the operation on her nose as much as 4 times. No, this is not duplicity at all. Just by surfing, she managed to break her nose three times. The last, fourth time, she managed not to notice the glass door at home and crashed into it. The result is a broken nose again .
Most women are envious of Cameron Diaz, whose weight, like several years ago, is 54 kilograms. And she does not sit on diets and eats whatever she pleases. According to her, you should not be jealous of her figure, you need to envy her metabolism.
Awards
The actress received awards for Best Actress in the film "Everything is Mad About Mary", for Best Dance in the film "Charlie's Angels", and was also awarded the MTV Channel Award for Best Screen Team in the same film.
Despite the fact that the filmography of Cameron Diaz has more than a dozen films, she is not going to stop there. The actress still continues to act. In 2014, the premiere of three films with her participation should take place.
In addition, everyone watched the animated film "Shrek". The role of the beautiful Princess Fiona went to the voice of Cameron Diaz, who, despite her busyness, manages to participate even in such projects.
Nominations
In 1995, Cameron was nominated three times for a prize. These were the nominations “Best Dance”, “Breakthrough of the Year”, “Most Desired Woman”. And all this for participating in the film "Mask".
A little later there were nominations for the best kiss, best comedy role, best female role, best cue and so on. This list goes on for a very long time. By the way, in 2004, Diaz received the Golden Raspberry Award for the worst female role in the film Charlie's Angels 2. Just Ahead. Do you think she’s upset? Not at all! I just laughed and let go of a couple of jokes about receiving this award. Here is such a Cameron Diaz - a cheerful, cheerful, talented actress and a wonderful woman, very beautiful in addition.
