60	----
61	!!Cameron Diaz's work provides examples of:
62	* ActionGirl: Used in half her movies; for example, ''Film/KnightAndDay'' and ''Film/CharliesAngels2000''.
63	* AuthorAppeal: Diaz loves doing crowd sing-alongs in her movies.
64	* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Film/VanillaSky'' was a start.
65	* DancePartyEnding: The vast majority of her comedies feature an ending using this trope. ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'', ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'', and ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'', to name a few.
66	* TheLadette: She has done these in ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'' and the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' films. In ''Film/AnyGivenSunday'', her father was an UsefulNotes/AmericanFootball team owner and possible ex-player who raised her like she was a guy.
67	* IcyBlueEyes: Well-known for her striking blue eyes.
68	* MsFanservice: Her roles often highlight her good looks. Averted with her role in ''Film/BeingJohnMalkovich'' where the crew went to great lengths to [[BeautyInversion downplay her looks]].
69	* NiceGirl: Her characters tend to be sweet, kind, caring and loving.
70	* NonSingingVoice: Diaz is well-known for being a terrible singer, so roles where her character is supposed to have a good voice (e.g. ''The Mask'' or ''Shrek'') will have a professional singer dub her parts.
71	* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary'', ''Film/TheMask'', ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' and ''Film/MyBestFriendsWedding''.
72	* StatuesqueStunner: With her 5'9" height and MsFanservice reputation, Diaz definitely qualifies.
