Early Years
The biography of the blonde bombshell begins when she was born on the 30th of August, 1972, in San Diego. Growing up on the West Coast instilled a love for the beach, sunshine and surfing and like most Californian girls she seems most comfortable when doing outdoorsy things. At 16 Cameron Diaz signed up with Elite Model Management, and she modelled for numerous companies including Calvin Klein, Levis and Coca-Cola and in countries such as Japan, Milan, Australia, Morocco and Paris. At just 17 years old she was featured on the front cover of Seventeen magazine.

Personal life:
Diaz received “substantial” defamation damages from suing American Media Incorporated, after The National Enquirer had claimed she was cheating on then-paramour Justin Timberlake. She endorsed Al Gore publicly during 2000. Diaz wore a t-shirt that read “I won’t vote for a son of a Bush!” while making publicity visits for Charlie’s Angels.[24] Diaz has also been involved with the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the first and largest nonprofit organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and has spoken as an advocate for military families. Although she was quoted by a 1997 Time magazine article as saying she was germophobic, Diaz specifically denied this on the June 26, 2009, edition of Real Time with Bill Maher, saying that a small comment she made 12 years earlier regarding public bathroom doorknobs was distorted out of proportion. On April 15, 2008, Cameron’s father, Emilio Diaz, died at the age of 58 from pneumonia.

Acting
Although she had no previous acting experience, Cameron Diaz auditioned for a role in the movie “The Mask”, based on a recommendation from one of the Elite agents. After she landed the role, Cameron took acting lessons and shortly after its release “The Mask” became one of the highest grossing films of 1994. It also earned the several nominations for her performance.

This shot Cameron Diaz to Hollywood stardom and suddenly producers everywhere were dying to cast her in leading roles in their films. Although a wrist injury saw her replaced in the video game madfe movie “Mortal Kombat”, Cameron did follow-up her success with a number of smaller independent films including “The Last Supper” (1995), “Feeling Minnesota”, “She’s the One”, and “Head Above Water” (all 1996). But it was her role in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” opposite Julia Roberts that launched her successful return to Hollywood.

Relationships
In 1990 Cameron Diaz started dating her first Hollywood star boyfriend Carlos de La Torre, a video producer, but this relationship ended in 1995. In 1996 she started seeing Matt Dillon, who was also her co-star in the romantic comedy “There’s Something About Mary” for two years. From 1999 to 2003 Cameron Diaz was involved with Jared Leto and then most famously started seeing Justin Timberlake. This relationship ended in 2007 and the actress later was linked to baseball player Alex Rodriguez.

The Future
Cameron Diaz recently purchased a home in Belsize Park, and her plans for the present are to spend her time equally between the States and the UK.
