Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz (born 30 August 1972) is an American actress, author, and entrepreneur who became one of Hollywood’s most popular stars of the 1990s and 2000s. She made an immediate breakthrough with her film debut in The Mask (1994), opposite Jim Carrey, and quickly established herself as a charismatic comic performer with roles in films such as My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), There’s Something About Mary (1998), and Charlie’s Angels (2000).

Diaz also showed strong dramatic and character range in films including Being John Malkovich (1999), Vanilla Sky (2001), Gangs of New York (2002), and In Her Shoes (2005). She reached an even wider audience as the voice of Princess Fiona in the Shrek franchise, one of the most successful animated series of its era. Known for her natural comic timing, relaxed screen presence, and ability to balance glamour with self-deprecating humour, she became one of the highest-profile actresses of her generation.

After stepping away from acting for several years, Diaz focused on writing, family, and business projects, including work in the wellness and wine industries. She later returned to screen acting, reaffirming her status as a familiar and much-liked figure in mainstream entertainment.
