Catherine Zeta-Jones (born September 25, 1969) is an Academy Award-winning Welsh actress. Born Catherine Jones in Mumbles, Wales, her last name stems from two different grandmothers; one grandmother is named Catherine, while the other is "Zeta," named after a ship that her great-grandfather sailed on. She was born to a Welsh father and a mother of Irish Catholic extraction and has two other brothers, besides English she speaks Welsh fluently. As a child she had a tracheotomy leaving a scar.
Zeta-Jones' stage career began in childhood. She sang and danced her way to local stardom as a part of a Catholic congregation's performing troupe before she was ten years of age, and by 1987 she was appearing in Forty-Second Street in the West End. Once the show closed, Zeta-Jones travelled to France, where she received the lead role in French director Phillippe De Broca's 1001 Nights (a.k.a. Sheherazade), her feature film debut.
Her exotic good looks, teamed with her singing and dancing ability, suggested a promising future, but it was in a straight acting role, as Mariette in the successful television adaptation of H. E. Bates' The Darling Buds of May (1991), that she made her name. She won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie Chicago in 2003 (when she quoted the Welsh chant "Oggy Oggy Oggy" in her acceptance speech).
Apart from her acting career, Zeta-Jones is also an advertising spokesperson for the mobile phone company T-Mobile. She is currently the global spokeswoman for cosmetics giant, Elizabeth Arden. She has also starred on the Lifetime Television event of Titanic, also starring Tim Curry and Peter Gallagher.
Zeta-Jones is married to the actor Michael Douglas, with whom she has two children. Her son, Dylan Michael Douglas was born August 8, 2000. (Her American admirers like to think that he is named after Bob Dylan - a favourite of Douglas - while her British admirers like to think that Dylan Thomas, also born in Swansea, was the inspiration). Her daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas was born April 20, 2003. Zeta-Jones has determined that her children grow up aware of their Welsh heritage and has built a seaside dream home in her hometown of Swansea.
