Cameron Diaz is an American actress, writer, former model, and entrepreneur. She is mostly known for playing comic roles but has proved her acting mettle in serious characters too. From being named the highest-paid actress over 40 (of age) in Hollywood to the highest-grossing U.S. domestic box office actress, she has made the most from her trade. Cameron started her career as a model at the early age of 16 and 22 years had a dream debut opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask. She is very particular in selecting the kind of movies and roles she does, thus the nos. are not big but the success rate is very high, courtesy of her good looks and acting skills.
Spending more than 27 years in the industry and tired of traveling for the movies, Diaz decided to take a sabbatical in 2017 and rather invest her money and time in her start-ups namely Seed Health and Modern Acupuncture, companies based on health and bio-tech. She has co-authored several books too based mostly on health, fitness, and mental well-being. It wouldn’t be a surprise for the fans, though, to see her on the big screen again.
