Zeta's sex peak - Mar 12 2008
Catherine Zeta Jones has apparently claimed she has not yet reached her sexiest.

The Hollywood beauty - in Australia to promote her new film Death Defying Acts, a biopic of Harry Houdini co-starring Guy Pearce - promised she is not ready to give up playing the sex symbol, according to the Daily Express.

Catherine, 38, told the newspaper: "I'm not going to be playing old grannies any time soon.

"In my next movie, you'll be seeing a lot more of me, put it that way. You see, I haven't actually reached my sexiest point yet."

The Welsh actress is married to Michael Douglas who is 25 years her senior and the couple have two children, Dylan, seven and Carys, four.

Catherine, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Chicago, added: "I'm probably not the best actor in the world but on screen and on stage I have something that I know is a little different."

Catherine laughs off anorexia rumours - Oct 29 2007
Catherine Zeta-Jones has become the latest celebrity to shake off stories of an eating disorder, insisting that her slim silhouette is down to exercise and healthy eating.

"Do I look anorexic? How could I ever, ever be anorexic?" she told People.com at the Savannah Film Festival.

"Michael (Douglas, her husband) was laughing at me. He told me what people had said - that stories say I’m anorexic."

The Welsh beauty, who joined her husband at the festival with their two children, said that her eating habits have simply changed a bit.

In the past, Catherine, who wore a black strapless dress, admitted she was a "bread girl", saying, "I love bread".

"These days, I’m just working out and not chomping down what I usually chomp down."

But she added that she’s concerned over the attention paid to women’s weight, saying: "There are many women who are maybe a little fragile, and it becomes a huge issue."



Catherine ’planning film in India’ - Sept 13 2007
Catherine Zeta-Jones is reportedly planning to visit India to shoot a movie with husband Michael Douglas.

The actress said she was working on the script along with her husband, The Times Of India reported.

"I’m looking forward to going to India," the newspaper quoted her as saying.

"Michael and I are developing a script that will be set up in India. We will take our kids and all of us will come there, set up camp in India and shoot a film."

The Welsh-born star said she and Michael live much of the year on the island of Bermuda, where their two young children go to school.

"The logistics are different now, I can’t just take off anywhere because my kids go to school in Bermuda," she added. "If I work, Michael doesn’t work and vice versa, that’s our pact."

Michael visited Mumbai two years ago and apparently announced plans to co-produce and star in Racing The Monsoon, an action adventure about a diamond heist aboard an Indian train.

Biography

Born on September 25 1969 in Swansea Catherine Zeta Jones, who grew up in Mumbles, was the daughter of a sweet factory owner.  She left school to persue an acting career without gaining any formal qualifications, going on to star in 42nd Street in London’s West End in 1987.  Soon after she appeared in her feature film debut, a French adaptation of 1001 Nights.  However it was on the small screen that Catherine made her name in the UK, stealing the show in an ITV version of H.E Bates’ The Darling Buds of May.

She went on to appear in numerous little noticed films and series’, including a made for TV film, Titanic, and comic book movie The Phantom, alongside Billy Zane.  It was around this time that she was picked to star with Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro and Sean Connery in Entrapment.  These films would make Catherine in to the Hollywood star we know today.

In 2000 she starred in Stephen Soderburgh’s Traffic with her future husband Michael Douglas.  When they married later that year there was much critcism of the age difference (Douglas being 25 years her senior), however their marriage continues to go from strength to strength and they now have two children, Dylan (born in 2000) and Cerys (born in 2003).

Between babies and awards ceremonies CZJ has made a real name for herself as a leading lady in films such as The Terminal, Ocean’s Eleven and America’s Sweethearts.  She has also won an Oscar for her all-singing, all-dancing part in musical Chicago whilst also working as spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden.
