The Mask's casting director eyed a different popular celebrity to play Tina Carlyle before Cameron Diaz blew her away.
The Big Picture With hindsight, it may now seem impossible to imagine anyone other than Cameron Diaz playing Tina Carlyle in 1994's The Mask, with the unique balance of sultry poise and genuinely sweet warmth that she brings to the role opposite comedy veteran Jim Carrey. But considering the unlikely circumstances behind the making of The Mask, we may have never been able to enjoy seeing Diaz in this part.
Cameron Diaz's Early Modeling Career Led to 'The Mask' Prior to filming for The Mask, Cameron Diaz had been working as a mostly unknown model. She had been in the industry from a relatively young age and was still attending high school whilst appearing in professional photo shoots - a high school that happened to be used in numerous films including The Craft and American Pie.
According to Variety, the casting director for The Mask Fern Champion had been considering numerous top models but hadn't found the right one for the part. Therefore, when her friend who worked in the same building suggested one particular model from her agency, Champion snapped up the opportunity. The model in question was Cameron Diaz, and Champion was struck by her "instant likeability" and obvious intelligence.
An Iconic '90s Star Almost Landed Cameron Diaz's Role in 'The Mask' The late Anna Nicole Smith, known for being a television personality and model, was the initial front-runner for the role of Tina. The Mask director Chuck Russell had been strongly considering her for the role, however, according to the aforementioned Variety article, on meeting in person, he acknowledged that despite being very charming, she wasn't right for the part.
Cameron Diaz Has Been Wowing in Films Ever Since 'The Mask' Cameron Diaz's early modeling career clearly proved to be invaluable practice, because she is the embodiment of fresh-faced elegance in The Mask, in which she plays a singer who works undercover for her gangster boyfriend. Despite this description and the movie's early shots that feature Diaz in a stunning red dress, she's no ordinary femme fatale and instead opts to play the part with nuance.
