Cameron Diaz is an American actress, born on 30 August 1972 in San Diego, California, who moved into film from a teenage modelling career. She made her film debut at twenty-one in the comedy The Mask in 1994, and her fame grew with My Best Friend's Wedding and then with the title role in There's Something About Mary in 1998. She also drew attention in dramas such as Any Given Sunday and Being John Malkovich, in Vanilla Sky and Gangs of New York, and in the action comedy Charlie's Angels and its sequel. Since 2001 she has voiced Princess Fiona in the Shrek franchise. Her romantic comedies of the late 1990s and early 2000s made her one of Hollywood's most bankable stars. She stepped away from acting after 2014, wrote two health books, and returned to film with Back in Action in 2025.
