CAMERON
DIAZ

Cameron Diaz is an American actor born in San Diego, California, on 30 August 1972. Her screen work ranges from romantic comedy and action to drama and animation.

After working as a model, Diaz made her feature-film debut opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask (1994). She went on to appear in My Best Friend’s Wedding and lead the comedy There’s Something About Mary, establishing a strong association with the genre.

Her performance in Being John Malkovich (1999) showed a different side, earning a Golden Globe nomination for supporting actress. Charlie’s Angels (2000) then placed her in an action ensemble alongside Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu.

Diaz voiced Princess Fiona in Shrek (2001), bringing humour and determination to a fairy-tale princess with a secret of her own. She returned to the character in the animated sequels.

After a break from acting following Annie (2014), she returned to film alongside Jamie Foxx in Back in Action (2025). Her career demonstrates an ability to shift between broad comedy, physical adventure and more unusual dramatic settings.
