Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a British actress, born September 25, 1969 Catherine Jones (near Swansea, Wales) to a Welsh father and a mother of Irish Catholic extraction. She has 2 brothers. Her stage career began in childhood, and by 1987 she was appearing in Forty-Second Street in the West End. Her exotic good looks, teamed with her singing and dancing ability, ensured her a bright 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 had adopted her grandmother's name of Zeta to create her stage name, both Catherine and Jones being common names.
