Catherine Zeta Jones
Catherine Zeta-Jones was born in a small fishing village called Mumbles
(near Swansea), in Wales on September 25, 1969. Her Welsh father was
the manager of a candy factory and her Irish mother was a seamstress. It
was in the church dramatic society that Catherine's natural talents
emerged in singing and dancing that led to her being accepted into the
London musical, "Bugsy Malone" when she was only fourteen years old. She
played the part of Tallulah (The part made famous by Jodie Foster in the
movie). The excited producers signed her up for "The Pajama Game" and
later, at age seventeen, she had the lead role in "42nd Street" after
the original lead actress and understudy were unable to perform. With
the Producer appearing in the audience that night, he insisted that she
become the star, after which she completed the run, doing eight shows a
week, until the show closed in 1989.
In 1990, Catherine was recruited for the title role in a French feature
film, "Scheherazade." She returned to England a year later for a hit
television show, "The Darling Buds of May." Now a major star in
England, Catherine became known to U.S. audiences with in the role of
Maya in 1992 films "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" and "Christopher
Columbus: The Discovery." More television, films and stage musicals
followed. It was a role in a TV mini-series, "Titanic," in 1996 that
brought her to the attention of Steven Spielberg who suggested her as
the lead female in "The Mask of Zorro," with Antonio Banderas and
Anthony Hopkins. She next played in "Entrapment" (1999) with Sean
Connery then in the remake of "The Haunting" as Theodora along with Liam
Neeson. She followed up with many more major films alongside top name
stars until the noteworthy film version of "Chicago" alongside Rene
Zellweger, for which she won an Oscar in 2003 for best supporting
actress. She is also well-known as the wife of Michael Douglas whom she
