Cameron Diaz would do anything for her loved ones.
The actress found it easy to empathize with her ‘My Sister’s Keeper’
character Sara Fitzgerald, whose daughter has terminal cancer, even though
she isn’t a mother herself.
She said:
"I think we all related to the fact that there isn’t anything that
you wouldn’t give someone that you love that deeply. You do whatever it
takes to keep that person alive. I think that that’s something that spoke to
most of us, for this film, and what I think is so effective in the film."
Cameron - whose father Emilio Diaz died after developing pneumonia while she
was working on the film - also praised her 13-year-old co-star Abigail
Breslin for her brave performance.
Abigail plays Sara’s other daughter Anna, who was a designer baby born to
help keep Kate alive. However, Anna decides she wants the right to make her
own medical decisions.
"What was amazing about working with Abigail was that I
realised you see her and you’re like, ‘Oh, she’s just a little girl,’ but
she’s got so much power within her. I went up to her mother and said, ‘Your
daughter is a warrior.’
"She can take all these things that are happening around her, that are these
very adult, complicated, complex situations and ideas, and she’s able to
somehow put something behind it with more strength than you see in most
people. I was amazed by how strong she is. She’s just a powerhouse."
Even writing about this story I get chills. It is such a powerful story and as a parent, it’s very hard to side with one character.
