Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 ~ Om Namah Shivaya ~ Dear Raghunadha Rao, Catherine Zeta-Jones Day - Thursday Time - 14.40 D.o.B - Sept 25 1969 Place - Swansea Wales (51n38 3w57) Some Details Catherine began acting at age 11, playing in a production of Annie and at 13 she starred in a West End production of the musical Bugsy Malone. When Catherine was 16 she took over the lead in David Merrick's 42nd Street. Her first regular television role came in the nostalgic British TV series The Darling Buds of May. When she was 14, along came her first break. A production starring Mickey Dolenz from The Monkees arrived in Swansea, one of its attractions being that, wherever it went, it recruited local children to form the chorus. Catherine auditioned successfully, so successfully that the producers quickly cast her in a touring production of The Pyjama Game. By 15, she had dropped out of school, received her Actor's Guild card, and moved to London. Soon Catherine enjoyed a ludicrous slice of good luck. Signing on for the chorus of 42nd Street, she became second understudy to the lead. One evening both the lead and the first understudy were struck down by illness, leaving the way open for Catherine, then aged 17, to star as Peggy Sawyer. Coincidentally, her efforts were witnessed by the show's producer, David Merrick, who'd never attended any of the previous performances. So impressed was he that he gave her the lead full-time, and she reprised the role eight times a week for nearly two years. In the meantime, there was marriage. In August 1998, Catherine met Michael Douglas, 25 years her senior, at the Deauville Film Festival. They began dating seriously in March, 1999, with Catherine reportedly sticking to her mother's advice of "Show them nothing!" by keeping him waiting for a full nine months - good therapy for a fellow reputed to be a recovering sex addict. Romantically, the couple were engaged on New Year's Eve at the turn of the millennium, in Aspen, Colorado. A child, Dylan Michael (that Swansea poet again!) would be born in August, 2000. Plenty of controversy surrounded the couple's wedding in late 2000. They'd been paid $900,000 by OK Magazine for exclusive pictures of the newly born Dylan. Now they accepted a further $1.5 million for exclusive shots of the wedding, a helpful amount as the proceedings at the New York Plaza would cost $1.8 million, including $10,000 for the four-foot cake. Unfortunately, Hello Magazine got hold of pictures and published, the Douglas's attempting to take out an immediate injunction. A second child would be born in 2003. Hope this might be of use.
