45 y/o Former Liberal Actress, Cameron Diaz confirmed to the world that he has indeed RETIRED from acting as she hasn't been in a movie since Sony's 2014 remake movie "Annie" which was a minor success 133M worldwide.

Piss-poor way to go out. And it wasn't a "minor success" since it pulled $133m against a $6578m budget when the rule of thumb is that the take needs to be at least double the budget.

In general, I like Cameron Diaz. She was smoookkiinnng in the Mask. I also enjoyed the bad-but-fun Charlie's Angels movies and, while the Sweetest Thing was fucking terrible even by rom-com standards, I still kinda liked it (although not enough to ever see it again). I kinda skipped Bad Teacher although, knowing that she's out of acting, I might go back to watch it at some point.

And, while she says she's quit acting, it's also worth noting that -- unless they're named Helen Mirren, Judi Dench, or Meryl Streep -- an actress's career starts to dry up when they hit their 40s.
