Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972. Over the years, she built an incredible career, picking up four Golden Globe nominations and three Screen Actors Guild Award nominations along the way. She became one of the highest-grossing actresses of her time, with a string of box office hits that made her a major star. Diaz shot to fame with her breakout role in The Mask (1994) and cemented her place in pop culture with the hilarious There’s Something About Mary (1998). She also showed off her range in movies like Being John Malkovich, Gangs of New York, and the action-packed Charlie’s Angels series.
Beyond acting, Diaz took her passion for healthy living to a new level by writing two bestselling books about wellness and aging. After more than 20 years in Hollywood, she decided to step away from acting in 2018 to focus on her personal life, family, and other passions. Even though she’s been away from the big screen, she’s still seen as one of the most beloved and relatable stars to come out of her generation.
In the years since retiring, Cameron has kept busy in new ways. She co-founded Avaline, a clean, organic wine brand that’s all about transparency and healthier choices. She’s also been open about how stepping away from acting gave her the freedom to slow down, focus on what really matters, and fully enjoy motherhood. Whether it’s through her business ventures, her books, or just her laid-back attitude about life, Diaz continues to inspire people to live with confidence, balance, and a whole lot of joy.
