Cameron Diaz is Back In Action in the new Netflix movie of the same name, so this week’s film quiz celebrates her previous work…


Don’t call it a comeback – it’s hard to believe it’s been more than 10 years since we last saw Cameron Diaz on our screens. After announcing her retirement in 2018, she’s back in action in Netflix’s Back In Action, appropriately enough. We’re big Cameron Diaz fans here at Film Stories Towers, so we’ve put together a quiz round about her biggest comedy roles and some of her dramatic roles too.

Once you’ve completed this week’s film quiz, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. As always, this is just for fun, but please let us know how you did in the comments (scores out of 30 this week!) and give us any other lovely feedback. Vamos!
