Catherine Zeta Jones
Born: 25 September 1969
Birthplace: Mumbles (near Swansea), Wales
Best Known As: Oscar-winning co-star of Chicago
Jones won an Oscar as best supporting actress for her deliciously villainous femme fatale in the 2002 film Chicago. Originally more popular in the U.K. than in the U.S., Zeta-Jones was first a hit on both sides of the Atlantic as the love interest of Antonio Banderas in the 1998 movie The Mask of Zorro. She quickly became an A-list star, often cast as a wily and sexy schemer. She was the expert thief opposite Sean Connery in the heist movie Entrapment, and the hard-edged drug kingpin's wife in Traffic (2000, directed by Steven Soderbergh). She and co-star Renee Zellweger both received Oscar nominations for Chicago. Her profile was boosted by her movie-star romance with actor Michael Douglas. The two were married in 2000, not long after completing filming on Traffic.
