The reality is far less scintillating. \u201cPeople are always like, \u2018Oh no, she&#8217;s brunette, she&#8217;s sad again.\u2019 This time when I dyed my hair dark, it was purely because I needed to stop bleaching it,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt&#8217;s got to stop chopping itself off. It has to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Cameron may now be happier than ever\u2014personally and professionally. \u201cI\u2019ve stepped into myself more as a human. I have subsequently stepped more into myself as an actor,\u201d she says. \u201cI think it&#8217;s really aided my work.\u201d On top of that, she\u2019s engaged to Italian musician Damiano David. \u201cI am madly in love. I&#8217;m getting married. I found the person that I want to be with,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>But her happiness, she wants you to know, isn\u2019t solely the result of falling in love. \u201cI feel like I was always treading towards this beautiful period in my life, and I just wasn&#8217;t ready\u2014rejecting goodness, rejecting love\u2014because I was in such a bad spot for so many years,\u201d Cameron recalls. \u201cThe only reason I was able to find this chapter is because I stepped away from the public eye for a while. I really did the work, reading the books, going to therapy, crying, writing, spending time alone. Doing things that were strictly to get back into my body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cameron has been \u201cexcavating\u201d herself, she says, and it\u2019s paying off in unimaginable ways. \u201cI&#8217;m entering 30 feeling, finally, like myself.\u201d In her conversation with <em>Allure<\/em>, she digs into what that means.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Allure:<\/strong><\/em> You will have just turned 30 by the time this interview comes out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dove:<\/strong> Can you believe?<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Allure:<\/strong><\/em> Do you ever worry about getting or looking older in an industry that\u2019s so youth-obsessed?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dove:<\/strong> Funny enough, no.

The roles that I want to play are going to be really good when I&#8217;m in my 50s.
