Cameron Diaz was
sixteen when she got her big break in life. She was at a
Hollywood party when she ended up speaking to, and eventually
dating, a fashion photographer who landed her a modelling
contract with the Elite Modelling Agency within a week of
knowing her. She went to Japan with another young model (15) to
further her modelling career shortly afterwards.For five years
afterwards she travelled from country to country and fashion
capital to fashion capital. From Paris to Morocco to Milan and
even to Australia and eventually hooked up with boyfriend Carlos
De La Torre whom she stayed with for five years in a Hollywood
apartment.
By the time she landed herself a role in the film The Mask,
starring comedian Jim Carrey, she was already an accomplished
actress appearing in commercials for Calvin Klein, Levi's, and
Coca-Cola as well as being on magazines such as Seventeen and
Mademoiselle. She was 21 and had much experience in the
modelling world. However, she had begun to feel that there was
more in her future than just modelling and she eventually
decided to turn from modelling to acting. She initially got a
small role in the movie but got bored “practising with the
choreographer so that he knows the steps he gonna teach the real
girl who gets the job? The director, Charles Russell, who
realised what she felt, managed to convince the producers at New
Line Cinema to give her the female lead role and so she launched
her acting career.A month into the production of the movie she
discovered the scale of the movie and got an ulcer realising the
pressure set upon her according to the success of the motion
picture. After this experience, and a case where she injured
herself in training for the film Mortal Kombat, studios became
wary of taking her on and so fate would have it that she
returned to the world of big time modelling and independent
films.
She gained a role in the movie the Last Supper?in 1995 saying
she decided to do so to gain experience working with other
actors seeing as how she had little experience. In 1996 she
earned roles in Feeling Minnesota and She The One along side big
stars Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Aniston and in the film lead
Above Water? She doesn fail to show off her model figure in most
of these films and they are all worth a view. She was named
N.A.T.O. female star of tomorrow in that year and now with
experience in several films she has a growing following of
fans.Since then she has starred in My Best Friend Wedding along
side Julia Roberts, A Live Less Ordinary with Trainspotting star
Ewan McGregor, and most recently There Something About Mary
along side long time boyfriend, Matt Dillon. Rumour would have
it the two have now broken up but reports are vague.Soon she
will appear again on the big screen in the films hear And
Loathing In Las Vegas?and an Any Given Sunday? Her latest film,
Very Bad things, is out in the States at the moment and will be
coming out soon across Europe. |
