She was born on September 25, 1969 in Wales, UK. The parental home today is the best place on the planet for her. She finds time in her busy schedule to come here and relax on the picturesque bay.

At the age of 4, Catherine's talent was already breaking through with might and main. The girl climbed onto the kitchen table and made impromptu performances for parents and neighbors. Adults predicted her future as a movie star. Inspired by her success, Katherine soon performed in front of the parishioners of the local church, singing religious songs for them. The girl had a wonderful voice, plasticity and stage charm. In her professional career, these skills were very useful to her.

Closer to the age of five, Catherine fell seriously ill - there were problems with the trachea, if not for the timely qualified assistance of surgeons, the girl could have died. Zeta-Jones has a scar on her body after that operation, but she refuses to grind the flaw - it is like a constant reminder of the frailty of human life.

At the age of 10, Catherine has already participated in the performances of the city theater. At the age of 14, a casting for the production of "Pajama Game" was held in the city. Zeta-Jones also participated in it and was so impressed with the talent of the director that he offered her a job on the show.

A year later, Catherine Zeta-Jones graduated from school - a year ahead of schedule - and left for London. She wanted to be famous, and London had good prospects to start. Two years after moving to the British capital, the girl has already participated in television projects.

She made her debut in a small role in the TV series "42nd Street". Katherine was lucky because the producer was present on the set of the episode, in which she had to replace the leading actress. Zeta-Jones' performance seemed so convincing to him that he offered her the lead role for the rest of the project. After filming the series, the actress was invited to the lead role in the film "Scheherazade", which was filmed in France.

In 1991, she brilliantly played Marietta Larkin in the series Lovely May Buds and made critics and directors talk about herself. British audiences fell in love with the actress, the long-awaited popularity came. Two years later, the actress was invited to Hollywood to shoot the series The Chronicles of Young Indiana Jones. In 1995, the actress starred in the American TV series Catherine the Great.

The popularity had a downside - the British paparazzi constantly pursued the actress, followed her. Katherine was so tired of living under the sight of photographic lenses that she moved to America.

In the USA, fate favored her. In 1996, Zeta-Jones starred in the miniseries Titanic, which was premiered by Steven Spielberg. The talent of the actress impressed the man, and he included the girl in the main cast of the film "Mask of Zorro" without trial: an unprecedented case. Catherine Zeta-Jones did not disappoint - she laid out 150 percent on the set, learned to fence, improved the art of dance. After the release of the film on the screens, it instantly became a hit, and from that moment the actress starred only in expensive films. The star's fees for filming were estimated at millions of dollars.

After Masks of Zorro, she played in the films Trap, The Ghost of the Hill House, Traffic, Fanatic and others. In 2000 she appeared in the film adaptation of the cult musical Chicago, in which she played Velma Kelly. For this role, she received an Oscar. At the ceremony, Katherine appeared two weeks before the birth and excitedly said from the stage that she had dreamed of this award all her life. She did not interrupt her career even after the birth of a child - 2-3 months after the appearance of the baby, she already went out on the set and with her usual zeal took up work.

In 2003, Katherine played the role of a marriage swindler in the Coen brothers' comedy "Unbearable Cruelty". George Clooney became a colleague on the set of the actress. The film press recognized the tape as the worst film of the directors on a par with their black comedy "Games of Gentlemen".

In 2007, viewers saw their favorite actress in the comedy "Taste of Life". To better prepare for the role of Kate Armstrong, Katherine worked one evening as a waitress at the prestigious Fiamma Osteria restaurant. Many visitors paid attention to the actress and were surprised at her similarity with a celebrity. To this Zeta-Jones replied, "They always tell me that."

Three years earlier, the actress was considered for the role of Mrs. Smith in the action movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". But, as you know, the professional hitman was played by Angelina Jolie. Catherine was able to collaborate with Brad Pitt in another crime tape - Ocean's Twelve.

In 2009, the melodrama "Babysitter on Call" was released, where the on-screen lover of the actress was played by Justin Bart. The story of the tape unfolded around a couple with a difference of 15 years. Moreover, the senior partner in the romantic union was a woman.

Catherine met her future husband Michael Douglas in August 1998 at a private screening of The Mask of Zorro. Douglas was invited there by a friend of Antonio Banderas. Michael liked the beautiful Catherine, during the meeting he told her: "I would like to become the father of your children." Zeta-Jones did not appreciate humor and kept the famous actor at a distance for a long time. For five months Michael showered the girl with flowers and gifts until she gave up.

The reason for Katherine's distrust was Douglas' family status. He had not lived with his wife for three years, but was still officially married. The couple, who lived together for 23 years, could not resolve the issue of financial compensation. The ex-wife of Douglas demanded exactly half of the artist's fortune, which is about $ 100 million.

Probably, this is fate, Catherine and Michael were even born on the same day - September 25, but with a difference of 25 years. True, the actress insisted on signing a marriage contract, under the terms of which she was entitled to financial compensation ($ 1-3 million) for each year she lived with Douglas in the event of her husband's betrayal.

Everything went well until 2010, until the actor was diagnosed with throat cancer. Catherine Zeta-Jones was furious because the doctors did not recognize the disease at an early stage - Michael Douglas's tests were good. She spent a year at her husband's bedside, caring for him - the disease receded. But the constant stress, nervous tension did not pass without a trace for her - she developed bipolar disorder and in April 2011 was undergoing treatment in a psychiatric clinic. Exactly two years later, she underwent the second course of treatment - mental problems only worsened.

On August 16, 2013, Michael Douglas announced that he was filing for divorce because he was no longer able to endure Katherine's depression. However, in November of the same year, the spouses were seen together - they made up.
