CELEBRITIES OF THE YEAR: FROM THE MOST
BORING TO THE MOST TALENTED
MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES
CAMERON DIAZ
A few
acting lessons later, a more confident Diaz took on 1996's
The Last Supper, Feeling Minnesota,
and She’s The One, for that
year’s ShoWest Female Star of Tomorrow nod.
The work kept coming and Diaz
opted for more interesting, less predictable roles in
My Best Friend’s Wedding (1997 -
Blockbuster Entertainment Favorite Supporting Actress award),
A Life Less Ordinary (1997),
Head Above Water (1997),
Keys to Tulsa (1997),
There’s Something About Mary
(1998), Very Bad Things
(1998), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
(1998), Any Given Sunday
(1999), and Being John Malkovich
(1999 - Golden Globe nomination and Screen Actors’ Guild award nomination).
Upcoming for the actor are lead
roles in Shrek (voice),
Invisible Circus, Things You Can Tell Just
By Looking At Her, and she’s to be one of a gorgeous threesome of
Charlie’s Angels. Diaz picks
her films carefully, alternating artistic independents with public-pleasing
mainstream hits. She’s found her niche in Hollywood, having gone from
just-another-pretty-face to respected “hot property” in a very few years.
Hopefully there are no more ulcers in her future -- it appears to us that
she has nothing to worry about.
