Early-life:
Born Catherine Zeta Jones (the hyphen came later) on September 25, 1969, she was raised in Swansea by her Irish mother and Welsh father. The name Zeta was derived from her grandmother. Fiercely ambitious, she became an accomplished singer and actress from a young age, largely as a result of her involvement with the local Catholic congregation's amateur performing troupe. After moving to London to pursue a full-time acting career, she landed her first West End lead role, in the musical 42nd Street.
Career:
In 1991, Zeta-Jones became a household name in the UK after starring in the hugely popular The Darling Buds of May on TV alongside David Jason. She then played supporting roles in a variety of films, before Steven Spielberg spotted her and offered her a major part in The Mask of Zorro. Credits have since included The Haunting, Entrapment, High Fidelity and Traffic. In 2002 she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Chicago. Since then, she's appeared in The Terminal, Intolerable Cruelty and Ocean's Twelve. She reprised her role as Elena de la Vega in The Legend of Zorro. She returned to the stage in 2009 and won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance on Broadway in A Little Night Music.

"For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have her and his own bathroom. The end."
