Happy 39th Birthday to Cameron Diaz! Wishing you many more!
(cogerson can you please see that CD receives this message) Thank you 🙂
I am on it Sunshine625….I will use my new James Garner connection to help get that message to Ms. Diaz.
Thank you! I knew you would have my back!
I am here for you and Cameron….lol.
What a GREAT informative hub! Cameron’s movies have seemed to have gotten worse through out her career, seems she’s in more cliche and forgettable movies now. I did love her in Vanilla sky, anyway great hub, lots of great information and I enjoyed seeing the movies she has rejected, hard to believe!
Thanks for the compliment Jennuhlee. I agree they have gotten worse…but it seems that they might be taking another turn for the good….Bad Teacher, Green Hornet surprised lots of people. Thanks for the comments.
I have to say that the only time I ever thought Cameron Diaz to be gorgeous was in The Mask, after that, she was just sort of vanilla and cute. Great actress, though. Voted up and awesome, cogerson. Once again a great write-up of a celebrity’s filmography.
Thanks for checking out my Cameron Diaz movie page, kittythedreamer….for me she was gorgeous in two movies…A Life Less Ordinary and She’s The One….two of her least successful movies. Thanksf for the compliment and the votes up…it is greatly appreciated.
I love Cameron Diaz, she is so funny and pretty. You have to give her credit after nearly twenty years and she is still going strong. My favorites are My Best Friend’s Wedding(I love her singing), Something About Mary(I still laugh when I see this movie) and In Her Shoes(a drama with some funny moments). voted up and awesome.
Thanks KellyE1967, you are correct she has maintained her movie career for almost 20 years, and that is always impressive. I have own all three movies you mentioned, but I have not seen In Her Shoes….it has been sitting on my DVD shelf for a couple of years unopened….you might have provided the push to finally watch it…thanks for your comments.
