Biography
Welsh actress, confident and fun-loving, unpretentious and often found
humming happily. She entered the 21st century at the top of her game, a
famed actress, beautiful and accomplished and in love with a new husband
and baby.
Born to working class parents, Zeta-Jones had two younger brothers.
Interested in acting from the time she was a kid, she played the title
role in "Annie" at 11 and three years later, was a gangster's
moll in the stage version of "Bugsy Malone." At 15, she moved to
London to devote herself to theater and showed formidable promise in parts
in the next few years. Zeta-Jones made a movie debut in "Shereherazade,"
a French film and her UK debut followed in a sitcom, 1991. Her three-year
stint on the racy British TV series “The Darling Buds of May,” made
her a media phenomenon. In her early 20’s, she was pictured everywhere,
seen in the tabloids with the customary lurid gossip.
In 1994, Zeta-Jones began her TV and film work in the U.S. both as a
guest on TV and playing the title role in “Catherine the Great.” Her
following portrayals included the forgettable film, "Columbus: The
Discovery," along with equally minor showcases. In 1996 she moved to
Hollywood officially, disillusioned with a broken engagement to TV host
John Leslie followed by a series of brief romances with British actors.
In the TV miniseries "Titanic," her breath-taking beauty
caught the attention of Steven Spielberg who cast her in "The Mask of
Zorro," 1998. The hit film was followed by a thriller,
"Entrapment," 1999.
Actor Michael Douglas had seen a private screening of "Zorro"
and knew he had to meet Zeta-Jones. They met at the Deauville Film
Festival in France in June 1999 and began a courtship that culminated with
the birth of their son Dylan Michael on 8/08/2000 in Los Angeles. By
spring 2000, Zeta-Jones, 30 and Douglas, 55 admitted to a relationship and
they vacationed together in June at the same time as his divorce was
finalized from a 22-year marriage. They married at a $1.5 million
extravaganza with 350 guests on 11/18/2000, Manhattan, NY. The wedding
lasted all night, starting at 7:30 PM with a 25-minute, non-denominational
ceremony, with traditional vows, and ending with a sing-along around the
piano bar at 5:00 AM the next morning. Their film, "Traffic,"
which opened in Toronto on 2/27/2000, was a hit production, earning Oscar
nominations in 2001.
