Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones got her first paycheck at age nine, for her lead role in the West End production of ‘Annie.’ Years later, she established herself across the pond in Hollywood as a figure of undeniable sex appeal, with notable films including 'The Mask of Zorro' and 'Entrapment.' Since then, she’s gained acclaim for her roles in ‘Traffic’ and her Oscar-winning performance in ‘Chicago.’
While she’s a figure of fantasy to most, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a prolific actress, a devoted wife to Michael Douglas, a mother of two, a philanthropist, and a down-to-earth woman.
