Shaw was attending the college when she was approached by Stanley Kubrick for her role in Eyes Wide Shut, playing an HIV-positive prostitute who is encountered by Tom Cruise’s character. In a 2008 interview, Shaw stated that Kubrick was “very influential” to her and that he “was the first person who encouraged her to continue acting”.

Director Aja had wanted to cast her in the film after seeing her performance in Eyes Wide Shut. Asked why she wanted to act in a horror film, Shaw responded “Well, I guess I could be good in it since I’m so frightened of those kinds of concepts. But this one in particular really attracted me because of the filmmakers. I really thought that they had a great stance on it. Like it’s very different, very heartfelt, and heartbreaking because of the characters involved. So that’s kind of what made the difference. It was more of an actor’s piece, if you can believe that, in a horror movie.” Shaw was featured on the official one sheet promotion poster for the film, which was a box-office success.
