Cameron Diaz Biography Cameron Diaz has beat the odds and come through smoothly unscathed. With her breakout role in The Mask, she electrified audiences opposite the manic and crazy Jim Carrey.

The roles introduced her to a more refined audience, and proved she could hold her own opposite some of Hollywood’s leading men. Cameron Diaz made her triumphant return to Hollywood in 1997’s My Best Friend’s Wedding. Cameron even managed to hold her own opposite another pretty woman, Julia Roberts.

In There’s Something About Mary, she carried the film nicely with modesty and downright cuteness. Cameron was born August 30th, 1972. She grew up in Long Beach, California. Her mix of Cuban and Anglo-German heritage, along with others, have formed a beautiful and exotic appeal. It was no surprise that at the young age of 16, she embarked on a modeling career.
