Michelle Diaz is a Golden Globe Award-nominated American actress and former fashion
model.
Diaz was born in San Diego, California. Her second-generation Cuban-Americanfather,
Emilio Diaz, worked as a foreman for an oil company, and her mother, Billie Early
(who has English, German and Cherokee Native American ancestry, worked as an exporting
agent. Diaz attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School. During her school days,
she was called Skeletor by her classmates because she was so thin. She likes to
talk about how she has succeeded despite this as it gives the underdog hope, a
very good thing og her, which most good people do.
At age 16, she began her
career as a fashion model. Diaz signed with top modeling agency, Elite Model Management.
After graduating high school, she went to work in Japan and met video director
Carlo de la Torre. On her return to America, she moved in with him. For the next
few years, her modeling took her around the world, working for contracts with
major companies. She modelled for the likes of Calvin Klein and Levi's Jeans hitting
model success very early in her illustrious career. She even graced the cover
of the July 1990 issue of Seventeen magazine.
At the age of 22, Diaz auditioned for Jim Carrey's The Mask. To her own surprise, and with no previous acting experience, she was cast as the female lead. Immediately after getting the part, she signed up for acting lessons. Over the next three years, she won roles in low-budget, independent films, such as The Last Supper, Feeling Minnesota, and She's The One.
She then regained mainstream success with My Best Friend's Wedding and There's Something About Mary, and won critical acclaim for Being John Malkovich, which earned her Best Supporting Actress nominations at the Golden Globes, the BAFTA Awards and the SAG Awards.

in the hit adaptation of Charlie's Angels and its sequel, and she voiced a lead
character in Shrek and its sequel, for which she earned $10 million. In 2001,
she won nominations for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes, the SAG
Awards and the AFI Awards for Vanilla Sky. For Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle,
she became the second actress (after Julia Roberts) to earn $20 million for a
role; the film underperformed at the box office.
Diaz was the host of the 2005 MTV television series Trippin'. Maxim Magazine ranked her #22 in their annual hot 100 in 2004, then she ranked #11 in 2005. In 2006 she made the top 10 by ranking in at #7.
Future work for Diaz include a role in Shrek The Third in 2007
where she co-stars with then-boyfriend Justin Timberlake. She was set to team
up again with The Mask co-star Jim Carrey in two films Fun with Dick and Jane
where she dropped out to star in In Her Shoes. She was recently set to star opposite
Carrey again in A Little Game Without Consequence that was planned to start filming
in October for a summer release date. The film was shelved and filming is still
yet to commence.
Diaz dated actor Matt Dillon for about three years before
splitting in 1998. She then had a four-year relationship with actor/singer Jared
Leto from 1998 to 2002.
Most recently, Diaz dated singer and former *NSYNC member Justin Timberlake for several years after first meeting each other at the Kids' Choice Awards in 2003. After nearly four years together, the pair issued a joint statement on January 11, 2007, announcing they had broken up, following weeks of break-up rumors.
In October 2004, Diaz and Timberlake were in an altercation with a tabloid photographer outside a hotel. When the photographer and another man tried to photograph Diaz and Timberlake, the celebrities snatched the camera. Pictures of the incident appeared in US Weekly. Representatives for the pair claimed that they were "ambushed" and acting out of self-defense.
Diaz and Timberlake were involved in another paparazzi incident while walking out of a friend's house. The paparazzi jumped out of bushes and photographed them. He then entered his car and allegedly drove it towards Diaz, who had to jump out of the way. Diaz pressed charges against the paparazzi, whose agency supported his actions as legal and safe.
Diaz suffers from obsessive-compulsive
disorder, and has publicly admitted she is deeply germophobic and habitually rubs
doorknobs so hard before opening doors to clean them that the original paint on
the doorknobs fades afterwards. Along with her floors, she says, she washes her
hands "many times" each day and uses her elbows to push open doors.
"I'm not scared of germs. I'm just aware of them," Diaz says. "I'm
not into other people's fluids unless I know them really well."
Diaz is appearing in an ad campaign on Japanese television for SoftBank: October/November 2006. Diaz also supports a small west London football club Brentford FC after visiting a Hollywood cafe owned by a Brentford supporter.
In 2004, a commercial S&M video of Diaz and another girl torturing a man leaked to the Internet. She made the video when she was 19. Diaz filed a suit against the Russian Internet site that distributed the video, but the video file is now distributed by many porn sites and Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks.
Diaz has been vocal in her opposition to U.S. President George W. Bush. Before 2000's election (on October 26 to be exact), Diaz wore a shirt that said "I WON'T VOTE FOR A SON OF A BUSH!" while promoting Charlie's Angels on MTV's Total Request Live. During an Oprah appearance before 2004's election, Diaz said "Women have so much to lose",
In 2007 Diaz split with her boyfriend of almost four years Justin Timberlake. The two still remain friends.
She has been interviewed on many tv programmes and has a freindly and also with that gregarious persona.
