At 16, Cameron began her career as a fashion model. She signed with top modeling agency Elite Model Management. For the next few years, her modeling took her around the world, working for contracts with major companies. Cameron modeled for designers such as Calvin Klein and Levi’s. When she was seventeen she was featured on the cover of the July 1990 issue of Seventeen magazine.
At 21, Cameron auditioned for The Mask, even though she had no previous acting experience, based on the recommendation of an agent for Elite who met the film’s producers while they were searching for the female lead. After obtaining the lead female role, she immediately started acting lessons. The Mask became one of the top ten highest grossing films of 1994, and earned her nominations for several awards.
Over the next three years, she took roles in low-budget independent films, such as The Last Supper (1995), Feeling Minnesota (1996), She’s the One (1996), Keys to Tulsa (1996), and A Life Less Ordinary (1997), preferring to feel her way effectively into the business.
