Cameron Diaz In 1994
We all fell in love with Cameron Diaz in her first major role as Tina, Jim Carey’s love interest, in The Mask. However, the role almost went to Anna Nicole Smith. Director Chuck Russell said: “I saw Cameron’s 8×10 on the casting desk and asked, ‘What about her?, I was told she was submitted but had not acted in anything else yet. I said to bring her in and let’s see… [She] was the only person for the part as far as I was concerned after her first reading. And then I saw the chemistry with her and Jim. Eight callbacks later, including improvs with Jim, I finally convinced producers.”
