Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972. When she was only sixteen, Diaz began professionally modeling for major companies such as Coca-Cola and Calvin Klein. In 1994, Cameron Diaz starred in her first film, The Mask with Jim Carrey. Before the film was released, critics disapproved of Diaz as The Mask’s lead female role because of her total lack of acting experience and know how. However, even without previous experience Cameron Diaz was phenomenal as The Mask’s Tina Carlyle. After changing the opinions of several spectators, Cameron Diaz spent the next five years starring in seven different films alongside well-known actors such as Julia Roberts, Jennifer Anniston, Ben Stiller, John Cusak, Al Pacino, and Dennis Quaid. But she didn’t stop there. Diaz took on the role of one of Charlie’s Angels in the 2000 remake of the 1970’s TV show, and starred in the 2002 sequel. In ’01 Diaz gave life to Princess Fiona from the hit movie Shrek and has stayed with her character for the three following movies. Diaz’s most recent films were Bad Teacher (2011) and What to Expect When You’re Expecting (2012).
Cameron Diaz is not married and has no children, but according to a 2012 interview by People Magazine she said she does not oppose to the idea of marrying or children. “It just wasn’t the thing I was drawn to. I certainly didn’t want it in my 20s. Or my 30s.” But now at 41, Diaz says “We’ll see”. (Excerpt from People Magazine-October 2012 Edition)
Cameron Diaz will be starring in upcoming thriller The Counselor with Brad Pitt and Penelope Cruz. The Counselor hits theaters October 25th.

    Selena Movie Analysis

    In effect, by glossing over Selena’s transition into the Latin American the film Selena ignores her accomplishments in the Latin American market which was not easy to enter. Although the film touches on the obstacles Selena had to overcome to become successful in Latin America it still makes it seem as if Selena was an automatic sensation, particularly in Mexico, where it is known she had difficulty winning people over. This is evident through the one scene in the movie where Selena visits Mexico and whilst there speaks Spanglish to reporters without any repercussions as later on a newspaper calls her the “genuine artist of the people.” Yet, it is no secret that at the beginning of her career the language barrier between Selena and her Mexican audience posed an issue as she was derided for using an interpreter to communicate with the Spanish-language media (Paredez 204).…

He explains that living in such a close proximity to that, the cultures start to blend together creating something new. “I AM MY CULTURE.…

    Maria Montoya Martinez was from San Ildefonso Pueblo. Born on an unrecorded date between 1881 and 1887 Maria was the oldest of five sisters. She started learning pottery skills from her aunt, at first just by watching her. At this time, traditional pottery techniques were being lost, but Maria and her family were trying to preserve the culture of art. By the age of seven or eight Martínez was making crude bowls and plates of her own. She received a well rounded education by first attending a government grammar and rudimentary school. Maria and her sister were selected to spend 2 of their formative years at St. Catherine’s Indian School. When Martinez returned home, she quickly achieved economic independence by mastering the craft of pueblo pottery. In 1904 she married Julian Martinez and they worked closely together. She created the pots and her husband painted them. After an archeologist had discovered ancient pottery, Maria and her husband were asked to reconstruct the pottery. After much trial and error, Maria successfully produced a black ware pot. She began developing new designs, shapes, and techniques for black pottery. She won many awards and presented her pottery at many world fairs and received the initial grant for the National Endowment for the Arts to fund a Martinez pottery workshop in 1973. Maria and her husband eventually settled in San Ildefonso, where they raised four sons and one daughter.…

    Latina Body Image

    • 463 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The ideal Latina was also seen as having a different way of “interacting in society.” Participants perceive the foreign ideal as originating in the United States and possessing Caucasian features and an ultrathin body type (Casanova, 2004). A study conducted in Ecuador based on concepts of race and beauty among adolescent women demonstrates how young girls have body image ideals starting at an early age. During a series of group interviews, Casanova learns about how young girls construct a Latina stereotype. The two most commonly mentioned Latin beauties were Salma Hayek and Jennifer López. Of course, the image that eventually propelled López to superstardom was one of a domesticated Latina, with pared-down curves and chemically lightened hair, as opposed to the fuller-figured, darker-complexioned brunette of the movie, Selena (Casanova, 2004). Throughout the film Princesas, Caye constantly talks about her disappointment with her body. She is regularly showed counting her savings and budgeting for her potential breast augmentation. The beautiful women, as depicted in questionnaires, discussions, and interviews, is usually tall and thin but with a pleasant figure or buen cuerpo. This archetype has long hair (with a preference for straight hair of any color), light-colored eyes (hazel, blue, or green), and white skin (Casanova, 2004). In Princesas, Zulema exhibits the ideal Latina beauty and she is exactly what Caye aspires to be. Throughout the film Caye gives subtle hints of her admiration for Zulema by complementing her clothes, eventually telling Zulema that she wants to copy her exact breast size and is willing to achieve it via surgery. Latin women are typically said to be curvy, fina (respectful) and delicadas (delicate) (Casanova,…
