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. |
