Born Cameron Michelle Díaz this tall, strikingly attractive blue-eyed natural blonde, Cameron Diaz was born in 1972 in San Diego, the daughter of a Cuban-American father, Emilio Diaz appeared in her movie There’s Something About Mary (1998) as a “Jailbird”, and an Anglomother. Her father, the Cuban American Emilio Luis Diaz (1949–2008), that worked for the California oil company UNOCAL for more than 20 years as a field gauger. Diaz has an older sister, Chimene. Her father’s family coming from Cuba settled in Tampa’s Ybor City, later moving to California, where Emilio was born. Her mother has English, German, and Cherokee ancestry. Diaz was raised in Long Beach, California

As a child, her friends nicknamed her “Skeletor,” because she was tall and had an infectious smile.

Cameron’s parents allowed the then-16-year old to spend five years traveling the world to pursue her modeling career beginning in Japan, where she was accompanied only by a 15-year-old fellow model.

Self described as “adventurous, independent and a tough kid,” Cameron left home at 16 and for the next 5 years lived in such varied locales as Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco, and Paris. Returning to California at the age of 21, she was working as a model when she auditioned for a big part in The Mask (1994).

She graduated from Long Beach Polytechnic (Poly) High School (Class of 1990) in Long Beach, California. As a member of that school’s “Polyettes” dance-drill team, Cameron performed during half-time at football games.

Height 5′ 8½” (1.74 m)

Was discovered by a photographer at a Hollywood party who, within a week, helped her land a contract with the Elite Modeling Agency.

To her amazement and despite having no previous acting experience, she was cast as the female lead in the film opposite Jim Carrey. Over the next 3 years, she honed her acting skills in such low budget independent films as The Last Supper (1995); Feeling Minnesota (1996); and Head Above Water (1996).

She returned to mainstream films in My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997), in which she held her own against veteran actress Julia Roberts. She earned full fledged star status in 1998 for her performance in the box office smash There’s Something About Mary (1998). With her name near the top on virtually every list of Hollyood’s sexiest actresses, and firmly established as one of filmdom’s hottest properties and most sought after actresses, Cameron Diaz appears to possess everything necessary to become one of the super stars of the new century.

As a good Cuban American descendant she has a reputation for being late.

CAMERON DIAZ, FAMOSA ACTRIZ DEL CINE Y LA TV. (Descendiente Cubana).

Cameron Diaz nació en 1972 en San Diego, la hija de un padre cubano-americano, Emilio Díaz quien apareció en su película ‘Hay algo sobre Mary’ (1998) como “Jailbird”, y hija de una madre Anglo. Su padre, el cubano Emilio Luis Díaz (1949-2008), que trabajó para la petrolera de California UNOCAL fue por más de 20 años como medidor de campo. La familia de su padre, que venía de Cuba, se estableció en la ciudad de Ybor en Tampa, trasladándose luego a California. Su madre tiene ascendencia inglesa, alemana y Cherokee. Díaz fue criado en Long Beach, California.

A Cameron Diaz, de niña, sus amigos la apodaban “Skeletor”, porque era alta y tenía una sonrisa contagiosa.

Altura 5 ‘8½ “(1,74 m)

Los padres de Cameron permitieron que la joven de 16 años pasára cinco años viajando por el mundo para continuar su carrera de modelo comenzando en Japón, donde fue acompañada sólo por un modelo de 15 años.

Cameron salió de casa a los 16 años y durante los siguientes 5 años vivió en lugares tan variados como Japón, Australia, México, Marruecos y París. Volviendo a California a la edad de 21 años, ella estaba trabajando como modelo cuando hizo una audición para una gran parte en The Mask (1994).

Se graduó de Long Beach Polytechnic (Poly) High School (Clase de 1990) en Long Beach, California. Como miembro del equipo de ejercicios de baile “Polyettes” de la escuela, Cameron se presentó durante el medio tiempo en los partidos de fútbol.

Fue descubierta por un fotógrafo en una fiesta de Hollywood que, en una semana, la ayudó a conseguir un contrato con la Elite Modeling Agency.

A su asombro ya pesar de no tener ninguna experiencia anterior de actuación, fue lanzada como la protagonista femenina en la película junto a Jim Carrey. Durante los próximos 3 años, perfeccionó sus habilidades de actuación en películas independientes de bajo presupuesto como The Last Supper (1995); Feeling Minnesota (1996); Y Head Above Water (1996).

Ella volvió a las películas principales de la corriente ‘En la boda de mi mejor amigo’ (1997), en el cual ella se sostuvo contra el veterano actriz Julia Roberts. Obtuvo el estatus de estrella de pleno derecho en 1998 por su actuación en el éxito de taquilla Hay Algo Sobre María (1998). Con su nombre cerca de la cima en virtualmente cada lista de las actrices más sexys de Hollywood, y firmemente establecida como una de las mejores propietarias de la industria fílmica y de actrices más buscadas, Cameron Diaz parece poseer todo lo necesario para convertirse en una de las super estrellas del nuevo siglo.

Como buena descendiente cubanoamericana, tiene fama de llegar tarde.

Fue puesta en juego Sonya Blade en Mortal Kombat (1995), pero se rompió la muñeca mientras tomaba clases de karate para prepararse para el papel y fue reemplazado por Bridgette Wilson-Sampras.

Nombrado por la revista People como una de las “50 personas más bellas” en el mundo. [2002]
