Her Best
Over two decades of great performances has given us plenty to talk about when it comes to Cameron Diaz movies. She is best known for her comedies and unforgettable scenes, such as her unique hair style in There’s Something About Mary. But, Diaz also has a unique ability to shine in other genres as well. Take a look at these picks of the best of our favorite wide-smiling star.
- There’s Something About Mary (1998): This was the film that really pushed Diaz to superstardom, playing the role of Mary who is the object of Ted’s (Ben Stiller) affection, even 13 years after he missed his date with her to the prom. Full of bizarre and funny scenes, this was one of the best comedies of the ’90s.
- My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997): Despite starring alongside one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Julia Roberts, Diaz managed to standout in her role as the adorable Kimberly Wallace. She is set to marry Michael O’Neal (Dermot Mulroney), but Julianne Potter (Roberts) decides she’s in love with O’Neal and attempts to break them up.
- The Mask (1994): After auditioning with no previous acting experience, Diaz was cast in her first movie as the lead female role in this comedy, starring next to Jim Carrey. This quirky movie about Stanley Ipkiss (Carrey), who finds a mask that transforms him into a superhero, was our first glimpse of what was in store for this talented actress.
- Vanilla Sky (2001): Taking on a whole different role, Diaz plays the scorned lover who seeks revenge. She intentionally wrecks the car while driving David (Tom Cruise), killing herself and leaving him with a permanently damaged face.
- Shrek (2001): This movie won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2002, and wouldn’t have been the same without the voice of Diaz as Princess Fiona. We again see in this film the range of different talents this actress possesses.
