At the age of
16, Cameron met a photographer at a Hollywood party, and within a week of their meeting
she had landed a contract with the Elite Modeling Agency. Diaz spent the next
five years touring the globe and eventually settled into a Hollywood apartment with video
producer Carlos de La Torre with whom Diaz carried on a five year relationship. The
ritz and glamour of the modeling industry came quickly to the beautiful Diaz, but she felt
that something was missing. Cameron debuted in 1994's The Mask opposite Jim Carrey.
The movie received a lot of attention and many wondered what the beautiful blue-eyed
blonde would do next. Her next movie was set to be Mortal Kombat but
Diaz injured her wrist karate-chopping her trainer's head in preparation for the role and
had to back out of the movie modeled after the successful video game. Diaz ran off
with her brother-in-law, played by Keanu Reeves, in Feeling Minnesota; she slept
with brothers Edward Burns and Mike McGlone in She's the One; and perhaps most
difficult of all to believe, she played Harvey Keitel's wife in Head Above Water.
The National Association of Theater Owners acknowledged her string of indie triumphs by
naming her the N.A.T.O./ShoWest Female Star of Tomorrow. Diaz returned to the big
studio movies in My Best Friend's Wedding, opposite Julia Roberts. Rave reviews
followed and it appeared that Diaz had made the transition from model to actress.
She next stepped into A Life Less Ordinary. Diaz also went on to star in the
smash, There's Something About Mary. Critics and audiences agreed that the
movie was a hit, and Diaz was the shining star. Cameron was well on her way to
becoming an absolute star.
