It’s a happy birthday to Cameron Diaz, who turns 35 today. To celebrate, let’s go with, say, this photo, which is probably a bit air-brushed, but certainly better than this picture.
I missed Diaz’s turn for Curtis Hanson in In Her Shoes (so sue me), and though a screener sits on my shelf (OK, in a box in my closet), in all honesty it’ll probably be another 20 years or so before I get around to it. What? I’m a busy guy. This is all to say, the above movie potentially excepted, that I’m not sure Diaz has really been challenged in a long, long time; maybe she will be in Richard Kelly’s forthcoming adaptation of The Box. But probably not. And hey, at the rate things are going, that movie might actually see the light of day before Kelly’s much re-cut Southland Tales.
