While we miss Cameron on the screen, we respect the now 49-year-old's decision as it has allowed her to spend more quality time with her husband, Good Charlotte singer Benji Madden and their daughter! We can only hope that she may one day return to acting, and we will forever remember her impressive career that started with Cameron Diaz in The Mask. Her last released film was in 2014 in the film adaptation of the popular children's musical Annie. A tall, strikingly attractive blue-eyed natural blonde, Cameron Diaz was born in 1972 in San Diego, the daughter of a Cuban-American father and a German mother. The site's consensus states: 'It misses perhaps as often as it hits, but Jim Carrey's manic bombast, Cameron Diaz's blowsy appeal, and the film's overall cartoony bombast keep The Mask afloat.' Metacritic gave it a weighted average score of 56 out of 100 based on reviews from 12 critics, indicating 'mixed or average reviews'. While she was at the pinnacle of her career, in 2017 Cameron Diaz announced her retirement from acting, stating exhaustion from all of the travel that comes with filming. Starring alongside Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, audiences just couldn't get enough of the strong crime-fighting women, and the film became one of the highest-grossing of the year! In fact, it was so successful that there would be a sequel in 2003! Diaz’s sexy looks began in her high school years, as evidenced by these photo. Shes beautiful as ever now, but wow was Cameron Diaz hot when she was younger. There’s no doubt that many audience members wished they could also be dancing and having a good time at the Coco Bongo club where all the fun was happening in the film. This slideshow features photos of young Cameron Diaz, including high school year books photos, a picture of her cheerleading, and more. Jim Carrey starred as Stanley Ipkiss, a sweet, but timid bank clerk who is transformed into a green-faced, zoot-suit wearing cartoon of a gangster after donning a magical mask. The actress got her start in the 1994 film loosely based on the Dark Horse comic of the same name. Perhaps the most famous role of Cameron Diaz's career, however, would come in 2000 when she was cast as one of the formidable angels in Charlie's Angels. The scene in The Mask where Jim Carrey’s character dances with Cameron Diaz’s Tina is one of the most beloved segments of the film. Cameron Diaz almost didn’t star in hit comedy The Mask.
