Actress Cameron Diaz came from a very poor family. They used to collect trash, pick out soda cans from it, and sell it for cash. She was in school when at the age of 16, she had to drop out to join modeling as a means of earning money. She had quite a successful career in modeling and ended up working with brands like Calvin Klein. She had no interest and no experience in acting, but through a chance of fate found herself working in the film, The Mask with actor, Jim Carrey. Unexpectedly, this movie turned out to be a hit and she entered the sphere of acting with roles in movies, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Charlie's Angel, The Holiday, Knight and Day, and others.
