foreman with a California Oil Comapany. Her mother, Billie, part German,
part English, and part Native American was an import-export broker. She
grew up with her sister Chimene in a modest two story home in Long

to heavy metal music and being wild. Her first concert was Van Halen and
her mother was one who took her to see them. By her mid-teens, Cameron was
going to Hollywood parties and staying out until the early morning hours.
This is where she met a man who would change the route of her
life.
Jeff Dunas spotted Cameron and said he could sign her with
Elite. Cameron took his card and spoke to her family and friends about the
proposistion that had been made to her. Long Beach had been her home for
sixteen years and she was about to start a new life that would send her
around to world to such places as Japan, Australia, Morocco and
Paris.
Returning to California at age 21, Cameron continued to
model, until she auditoned for a small bit part in the movie, "The Mask"
starting Jim Carrey. Despite having no acting experience or credits, she
was casted as the female lead Tina Carlye. After receiving rave reviews,
she set out to perfect her acting skills by doing low buget films such as
"The Last Supper," "Feeling Minnesota" and "Head Above Water."
She
returned to the big screen with "My Best Friends Wedding" and A Life Less
Ordinary. The film that put her on the top of every Hollywood hot list was
"Something About Mary" With the movie being an international hit, both
critics and fans agree that Cameron is a rising star with a promising
future.
