Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz latest photo gallery-6730

Cameron Diaz was apparently amazed to land a starring role in The Mask (1994) opposite Jim Carrey, after auditioning for the part with no previous acting experience.

She became only the second woman to enter the elite $20 Million Club (following Julia Roberts) after signing to do Charlie's Angels 2 (to be released in 2003) for that amount.

She has a reputation for being late and is very superstitious.

Model-turned-actress Cameron Diaz seemed to come out of nowhere when she made her 1994 screen debut opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask. However, her unusual beauty -- the result of her Cuban-American and Anglo-German-Native American parentage -- helped to ensure that she would not be soon forgotten.
