Career: At age 17, she began her career as a
fashion model. Diaz signed with top modeling agency,
Elite Model Management. After graduating from high

her around the world, working for contracts with major
companies. She modelled for designers such as Calvin
Klein and Levi's. She also graced the cover of the July
1990 issue of Seventeen magazines.
At the age of 21, Diaz auditioned for the Jim Carrey
film The Mask. Even though she had no previous acting
experience, she was cast as the female lead. She signed
up for acting lessons right after getting the part. Over
the next three years, she won roles in low-budget,
independent films, such as The Last Supper, Feeling
Minnesota, and She's The One.
She then regained mainstream success with her roles in
My Best Friend's Wedding and There's Something About
Mary. She won critical acclaim for her performance in
Being John Malkovich, which earned her Best Supporting
Actress nominations at the Golden Globes, the BAFTA
Awards and the SAG Awards.
During the 1999-2000 period, Diaz starred in many films,
such as Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her, A
Life Less Ordinary, Any Given Sunday, and the hit
adaptation of Charlie's Angels. In 2001, she won
nominations for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden
Globes, the SAG Awards and the AFI Awards for Vanilla
Sky, and also voiced Princess Fiona in Shrek, for which
she earned $10 million. In 2003, Diaz received another
Golden Globe nomination for Martin Scorsese’s epic
Gangs of New York, and became the second actress (after
Wedding costar Julia Roberts) to earn $20 million for a
role, receiving the sum for Charlie's Angels: Full
Throttle. After Full Throttle, Diaz only appeared in
three films, Shrek 2, In Her Shoes and The Holiday .
During 2004 and early 2005, Diaz explored some of the
environmentally unique locations on the planet while
discovering ways to help preserve them for the
10-episode MTV series Trippin’ which featured numerous
celebrities and friends of Diaz, such as Jessica Alba,
Drew Barrymore, Eva Mendes and Justin Timberlake.
Diaz was mentioned regularly in British comedy series
Bo' Selecta, being referred to lovingly as 'Cameron
Up-Diaz', and is credited as having appeared in one
episode in 2003.
Future Work: Future work for Diaz includes a role
in Shrek the Third in 2007, where she co-stars with
former boyfriend Justin Timberlake. She was set to team
up again with The Mask co-star Jim Carrey in the film
Fun with Dick and Jane, but she dropped out to star in
In Her Shoes. She was recently set to star opposite
Carrey again in A Little Game Without Consequence that
was planned to start filming in October for a summer
release date. The film was shelved and filming is still
yet to commence. She will return as a role in Shrek 4.
Relationships: Diaz dated actor Matt Dillon from
1995 to 1998. She then had a four-year relationship with
actor/singer Jared Leto from 1998 to 2002.
Most recently, Diaz dated singer and former *NSYNC
member Justin Timberlake, who she met at the Kids'
Choice Awards in 2003. After nearly four years together,
the pair issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007,
announcing they had broken up, following weeks of
break-up rumors.
In October 2004, Diaz and Timberlake were in an
altercation with a tabloid photographer outside a hotel.
When the photographer and another man tried to
photograph them, the couple snatched the camera.
Pictures of the incident appeared in US Weekly.
Representatives for the pair claimed that they were
"ambushed" and acting out of self-defense.
Diaz and Timberlake were involved in another paparazzi
incident while walking out of a friend's house. The
paparazzi jumped out of bushes and photographed them. He
then entered his car and allegedly drove it towards
Diaz, who had to jump out of the way. Diaz pressed
charges against the paparazzi, whose agency supported
his actions as legal and safe.
Personal life: Diaz has publicly admitted she is
deeply germophobic and habitually rubs doorknobs so hard
before opening doors to clean them that the original
paint fades afterwards. Along with her floors, she says,
she washes her hands "many times" each day and
uses her elbows to push open doors. "I'm not scared
of germs. I'm just aware of them...I'm not into other
people's fluids unless I know them really well."
Years later, Diaz perhaps modified her fears somewhat
when she said "I think I've made my peace with
it."
In 2004, a commercial S&M video of Diaz and another
girl torturing a man leaked to the Internet. She made
the video when she was 19. Diaz filed suit against the
Russian internet site that distributed the video, but
the video file is now distributed by many porn sites and
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
Diaz received "substantial" libel damages from
suing American Media Incoporated, after The National
Enquirer had claimed she was cheating on then-boyfriend
Timberlake.[
Diaz has been vocal in her opposition to U.S. President
George W. Bush. Before 2000's election (on October 26 to
be exact), Diaz (along with her Charlie's Angels
co-stars, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu) wore a shirt that
said "I WON'T VOTE FOR A SON OF A BUSH!" while
promoting Charlie's Angels on MTV's Total Request
Live.During an Oprah appearance before 2004's election,
Diaz said
“ Women have so much to lose... I mean, we could lose
the right to our bodies. If you think rape should be
legal then don't vote. But if you think you have a right
to your body and you have a right to say what happens to
you and fight off that danger of losing that, then you
should vote. ”
It should be noted that the legalization of rape was not
actually an issue in the 2004 election.
When Diaz was asked if she can speak Spanish she said
“ I know what you're saying, I really do. I just
cannot respond to you back in Spanish. I can barely
speak English properly. I didn't grow up in a Cuban or
Latin community. I grew up in Southern California on the
beach, basically. And I'm third generation. I'm of Cuban
descent, but I'm American. ”
Maxim Magazine ranked her #22 in their annual hot 100 in
2004, then she ranked #11 in 2005. In 2006 she made the
top 10 by ranking in at #7.And she ranked #19 in 2007.
