[h3]Cameron grew up in Long Beach, California and being taller and thinner than the other girls in her class she earned the nickname of ‘Skeletor’.[/h3]

However, her striking looks soon led to offers of modelling work and, aged 18, she found herself working in Japan.

Whilst in Japan she met director Carlo de la Torre and the couple began a five year relationship. During this time Cameron enjoyed all the trappings of her modelling career, travelling all over the world working on campaigns for the likes of [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/298:0/Calvin_Klein.htm]Calvin Klein[/urlnew] and Levis.

Her movie break came alongside [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/33:0/Jim_Carrey.htm]Jim Carrey[/urlnew] in ‘The Mask’ and subsequent projects ‘The Last Supper’, ‘She’s The One’ and ‘Head Above Water’ helped raise her profile. Her role in ‘My Best Friend's Wedding’ with [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/521:0/Julia_Roberts.htm]Julia Roberts[/urlnew] was a wise move and the film was a huge worldwide box office hit.

Roles in ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ and ‘A Life Less Ordinary’ followed, but it was with comedic roles that she scored her biggest hits. The quirky flick ‘There's Something About Mary’, with its infamous ‘hair gel’ scene earned Cameron her first Golden Globe nomination in 1998.

Now gracing the arm of Matt Dillon, Cameron continued to make eclectic film choices and picked up her second Golden Globe nomination for ‘Being John Malkovich’ in 1999. However, big time Hollywood success was now upon the young actress and roles in ‘Shrek’, ‘Vanilla Sky’ and ‘Charlie’s Angels’ helped turn the former model into one of America’s highest paid actresses.

Indeed, the second Charlie’s Angels film – ‘Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle’, catapulted Cameron into the $20 million movie league.

Her private life and high profile relationships with Matt Dillon, Jared Leto and [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/1861:0/Justin_Randall_Timberlake.htm]Justin Timberlake[/urlnew] have ensured Cameron has always attracted the attentions of the world's media.

In 2005, she successful won a ‘blackmail’ case against a photographer who threatened to release topless photographs of the star unless she bought them for millions of dollars. Cameron successfully proved the signature on the release form for the photographs was fake. She also accepted damages from a UK newspaper who suggested she had a romantic involvement with a married man whilst in a relationship with Justin Timberlake.
