Born: August 30, 1972, San Diego, California
Sure, there was the hair gel, the zipper scene, the dog in a body cast. But, as the title indicates, more than anything there was just something about lovely, charmingly gawky Cameron Diaz in 1998s summer sleeper hit Theres Something About Mary. This was the role that made her a star, but the actress with the megawatt smile had already caught the eye of many as the object of Jim Carreys affection in The Mask -- a role she won with no previous acting experience! Diaz continues to surprise both Hollywood and audiences around the world. Its her lack of vanity -- as evidenced in her roles as good-natured Kimmy in My Best Friends Wedding and as the frizzy-haired, sexually confused animal lover in Being John Malkovich -- that sets her apart. Is this funny girl (and Charlies Angel) destined to become Hollywoods next leading lady? The stars have the scoop!
Born under a Virgo Sun, Diaz is detailed, particular and critical of herself and those she holds dear. She holds herself to high standards and expects nothing short of perfection, which helps explain her considerable acting skills. Her Virgo Sun is Conjunct Mars, the Planet associated with action, drive and determination. When these two come together, expect a hyper-focused individual. Not only will Diaz learn her lines flawlessly, she will be the ideal professional in all respects, making her a pleasure to work with. She most likely operates with a finely tuned career plan and will make lists of lists, if thats what it takes to achieve her end goal.
With Mercury, the Communication Planet, in Leo, its easy to see where this charming actress gets her comedic spark. Leo is the Sign of the actor and this placement speaks to a great storyteller, one who can get an audiences attention and keep them entertained thanks to her verbal skills.
Her Venus in Cancer gives Diaz a deep love of home and hearth, along with an emotional and sensitive sensibility that may mean its easy to hurt her feelings. She wears her heart on her sleeve and seeks the company of someone who is as emotional as she. Her Venus Square Uranus pegs her as a bit moody at times, someone who could blow hot and cold in a relationship. This same aspect signals the actress as being radical, even odd, and certainly unpredictable. In other words, theres never a dull moment with Cameron.
