The Mask

Cameron Michelle Diaz was born 30 August 1972, and at 5ft11in with sparkly blue eyes and blonde hair, she soon learnt that she stood out in a crowd. Cameron left home at 16 years old to pursue a career in modelling and, until she was 21, travelled the world living in Japan, Australia, Mexico, Morocco and Paris. It was when she moved to LA that she was signed by Elite Modelling agency, who put her forward for the female lead in The Mask (1994) opposite Jim Carrey, and the rest, as they say, is history. Here’s Cameron at 21, one month before The Mask hit the big screen. Her natural beauty and youth shines through as she opts for natural make-up.
