Cameron Diaz is in the “single” status herself, but the 36-year-old starlet still believes that the long-lasting love her parents (who were married in 1969) shared is one of the key contributors to her sterling on-screen success today.
“It’s a bond that is so true, so pure, and so powerful, it is the most beautiful and inspiring thing that I have ever witnessed — the eternal love that my mom and dad shared,” Diaz recently told Tarts. “It was what has given me the strength and courage to live this extraordinary life and it is what powers the light that burns inside of me.”
Diaz’s father passed away suddenly from pneumonia in April last year while she was filming her soon-to-be-released drama “My Sister’s Keeper.”
“I was very fortunate to have a very wonderful, supportive family who instilled a great work ethic in me and to treat other people the way you want to be treated and it sticks with you,” the actress explained. “Teach your kids well.”
And right from the start of her career as a teenage model, moral integrity was pivotal.
“I was fortunate to meet a man named Jeff Dunes, who when I met when at a Hollywood party at the tender age of 16, who offered to speak to my parents about me modeling instead of all the other possible things a man in his position might offer a girl in mine,” Diaz added. “I was also fortune to be represented by the Elite Model Agency, an agency that actually had integrity.”
