Catherine Zeta-Jones
The homes
of Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas are decorated with
family mementos—including their twin Academy Awards. But Catherine will be the
first to tell you she didn't grow up in the lap of luxury. She started working
at a very young age.
"I didn't even think about movies where I came from. I wanted to be on the
stage. When I was 10, I did 'Annie' in the West End. I did 'Bugsy Malone' when I
was 11 and 12. And then at 16, David Merrick saw me in '42nd Street.' I took
over the lead and he cast me. I was there for two and a half years. Right now,
these young kids are going crazy. I never had that because I had a work ethic. I
had to turn up and be there six nights a week."
