In 2014, Cameron Diaz quietly left Hollywood, a decision she hardly regrets some eight years later. She last appeared as Miss Hannigan in the film adaptation of “Annie.” Diaz has spent her time doing other things in the years since, including welcoming her first daughter, Raddix Madden, in 2020.
Paltrow asked Diaz what it was like to walk away from Hollywood at the height of success. The retired actor replied, “I got a peace in my soul because I finally was taking care of myself. I just feel grounded and light.”
