Cameron Diaz has become one of Hollywood's most glamorous comedy stars. Ever since she upstaged Julia Roberts and Rupert Everett in My Best Friend's Wedding, then followed that with There's Something About Mary, her reputation has been made. Born in San Diego and originally finding fame as a model for Calvin Klein, Diaz struggled by in movies after a bright start in Jim Carrey's The Mask. Today she enjoys her pick of the top Hollywood vehicles, including Charlie's Angels and Shrek as well as indie hits like Being John Malkovich. Now Daniel O'Brien tells the story of Diaz's zigzagging route to the very top of the Hollywood ladder. Daniel O'Brien is a film journalist and the author of SF:UK, The Frank Sinatra Film Guide, and The Hannibal Files.
