Cameron Diaz entered Hollywood without an acting background, first starring in The Mask (1994) opposite Jim Carrey. Formerly a model, Diaz's charm and raw talent rapidly made her a leading actress in movies such as There's Something About Mary (1998) and Charlie's Angels (2000). She retired for a few years and returned with Back in Action (2024), which proved her longevity. Diaz's career is a classic example of the power of adaptability and willingness to learn on the job.
