Charlie's Angels beauty Cameron Diaz will do what it takes to prepare for her roles. In her latest movie, Things You Can Tell By Just Looking At Her, Cameron is a blind woman who can't find the right Mr. Right.

She decided to visit the Braille Institute in Los Angeles to get a first-hand idea of what life is like blind. She didn't encounter too many Very Bad Things as she wore a blindfold. According to her director, Rodrigo Garcia, Cameron even went to the ladies' room blindfolded. "She had to go to the bathroom, so she kept the blindfold on, found her way, peed and washed her hands. That's risky - but she came out looking dry. She hit her target." (Sounds more like a scene from There's Something About Mary.)
