Inside Life with Cameron Diaz: Former Assistant Reveals All
Her experience highlights a work culture fueled by creativity, teamwork, and a strong sense of purpose.
Cameron Diaz’s former assistant said she genuinely enjoyed working with the actress.
Janet Caperna found working with Cameron Diaz on Avaline deeply rewarding, especially as part of a close-knit team.
The role ignited her lasting passion for wine—she’s still “obsessed.” It also brought her into a tight circle of assistants who continue to support one another.
From the thrill of the wine industry to the strong friendships she formed, Caperna’s journey reflects a blend of purpose, connection, and joy.
Cameron Diaz and her good friend, Katherine Power, co-founded the organic wine brand in 2020, launching it with two new products: Spanish white and French rosé wines.
In a 2022 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Diaz and Power explained that they aimed to bring the same organic purity found in skincare and household products into wine.
To deepen their understanding, they traveled to Europe and met directly with winemakers and organic grape growers who aligned with their vision.
Diaz and Power launched Avaline in 2020, right in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the challenges, the brand quickly gained momentum.
According to Forbes, Avaline brought in more than $33.2 million in sales last year.
Since then, the company has steadily expanded its lineup, rolling out sparkling wines, red and white blends, and other unique offerings.
