![]() ![]() CAMERON DIAZ
LifestoryAt the age of 16, Cameron met a photographer at a Hollywood party, and within a week of their meeting she had landed a contract with the Elite Modeling Agency. Diaz spent the next five years touring the globe and eventually settled into a Hollywood apartment with video producer Carlos de La Torre with whom Diaz carried on a five year relationship. The ritz and glamour of the modeling industry came quickly to the beautiful Diaz, but she felt that something was missing. Cameron debuted in 1994's The Mask opposite Jim Carrey. The movie received a lot of attention and many wondered what the beautiful blue-eyed blonde would do next. Her next movie was set to be Mortal Kombat but Diaz injured her wrist karate-chopping her trainer's head in preparation for the role and had to back out of the movie modeled after the successful video game. Diaz ran off with her brother-in-law, played by Keanu Reeves, in Feeling Minnesota; she slept with brothers Edward Burns and Mike McGlone in She's the One; and perhaps most dificult of all to believe, she played Harvey Keitel's wife in Head Above Water. The National Association of Theater Owners acknowledged her string of indie triumphs by naming her the N.A.T.O./ShoWest Female Star of Tomorrow. Diaz returned to the big studio movies in My Best Friend's Wedding, opposite Julia Roberts. Rave reviews followed and it appeared that Diaz had made the transition from model to actress. She next stepped into A Life Less Ordinary. Diaz also went on to star in the summer smash, There's Something About Mary. Critics and audiences agreed that the movie was a hit, and Diaz was the shining star. Diaz and Matt Dillon, her beau of nearly three years and her Mary costar, have recently split.
