Diaz nearly missed out on 'Mary'



Cameron Diaz has revealed that she nearly turned down the title role in 1998 comedy There's Something About Mary.

She was close to rejecting the opportunity after her managers advised that the movie could end her career.

"My agent and manager thought that doing this film was an insane move - I was told it would be the end of my career. But it has been the highlight of my career and my personal life," she said.

Diaz picked up an Emmy nomination for the movie, in which she played the unrequited love interest of former high school classmate Ted (Ben Stiller).
