Cameron Diaz, Los Angeles, 1998
According to Diaz, she originally only planned on hustling for two years to determine whether her acting career should take off or not. After she starred in The Mask, and then There's Something About Mary, things took a major turn for her. According to her, the hard work stopped being hard after a while.
