Happy Birthday to Catherine Zeta-Jones! The acclaimed actress, known for her roles in Wednesday, Chicago, and The Mask of Zorro, celebrates another year today.


Happy Birthday Catherine Zeta-Jones: 'Wednesday' Star Turns a Year Older

<p>Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones is in India with her husband, Michael Douglas, to attend the prestigious International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Douglas will be honoured with the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday (Nov 28).</p>

<p>Michael and Catherine are currently in the picturesque city of Goa and recently interacted with the mediapersons present at the event. Talking about her special connection with India, Catherine talked about the time when an Indian doctor saved her life, and her favourite Indian film in which she would love to feature.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Saying that&nbsp;India&nbsp;has touched her in a very personal way, the <em>Wednesday</em> star said, “The story I’ve never told before is that India has touched me in a very serious personal way. It was an Indian doctor who saved my life with a tracheotomy when I was 18 months old.''<br />
<br />
She added, ''I wonder why when I come to India, I have this feeling of coming home, and maybe it has something to do with that. The reason I’m here is because of the brilliance of an Indian doctor in the UK.”</p>

<p>Catherine, 54, looked stunning in a one-shoulder blue dress with a long trail. She kept her hair open and her makeup simple. Meanwhile, her husband, Michael, was wearing a blue-printed coat with a matching blue shirt and pants.<br />
<br />
At the event, the prolific actress also shared her love for Indian movies, as she went on to name Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Om Shanti Om</em> as her favourite Indian movie.</p>

<p>"I have always been a huge fan of Bollywood and being a singer and a dancer, I dreamt (that) maybe the British film industry would do the Bollywood type of films and I would be able to be cast," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Revealing that she showed SRK's film to her son, the Hollywood star&nbsp;said, "And when his (sons) kid friends came over, he is like, 'You want to see a movie from India, it's my mom's favourite movie'. We love it and we watched it many times."&nbsp;</p>

<p>When asked whether she would want to work in India, Catherine said that she would love to star in Ritesh Batra's<em> The Lunchbox</em>. The critically acclaimed movie stars late actor Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui.</p>

<p>Calling it one of her "favourite movies of all times", the actress said that she came across the movie during her flight and watched it twice back-to-back.</p>

<p>The Hollywood actress said, “In fact, one of my favourite films, which is not Bollywood, is called <em>The Lunchbox,</em> which is one of my favourite films of all time.”</p>

<p>She loved the movie so much that she even met the director Ritesh when he was in London.</p>

<p>"I am still waiting for him to write me another <em>Lunch Box. </em>I am a big fan of that movie. It touched me in a sense of being such a quintessential Indian movie, it just touched me as an European woman so much," she added.</p>

IFFI 2023: Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones would love to feature in this film of Irrfan Khan

<p>Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played the iconic role of Mariette in the classic '90s TV series 'The Darling Buds Of May', recently revealed that not playing James Bond on the silver screen is the biggest regret of her career spanning over three decades. Even though she was really close to making her dream come true, it couldn't materialise due to various reasons.</p>

<p>The Oscar-winner recently spoke to The Sun and claimed that former 007 Sean Connery even backed her to replace him as the all-action spy but for some unknown reasons, she didn't get to play Bond. Sean and Catherine reportedly became close after sharing screen space in the 1999 crime caper 'Entrapment'.</p>

<p>"I would have loved to have played Bond. I had such a wonderful relationship with Sean Connery - we did a movie called 'Entrapment' years ago - and he was like my elder brother, my dad, my support. I really loved him," she told The Sun on Sunday.</p>

<p>"I am a Bond fanatic and he said to me once, 'You would have made a great Bond, girl'. I asked, 'A Bond girl or Bond?' He went, 'Bond - girl.' I said, 'Oh my gosh, I would have loved to have played Bond!' But I think that time has passed," Catherine shared.</p>

<p>Catherine recently grabbed headlines for playing Morticia in the Netflix series 'Wednesday', which is&nbsp;a reboot of 'The Addams Family'. The series is&nbsp;shot by 'Batman' director Tim Burton.</p>

<p>Talking about her role in 'Wednesday',&nbsp;Catherine said,&nbsp;"It was a real treat because it's an iconic show and characters like Fester and Morticia are indelible, they're in our subconscious."</p>

<p>She added, "It's more than pop culture, really. My niece knows 'The Addams Family' and my grandmother, God bless her, she loved 'The Addams Family'. You throw in the brilliant mind of Tim Burton and a fantastic casting and I'm just thrilled it's going so well."</p>

<p>Catherine won an Oscar for best supporting actress in 2003 for her role in the musical 'Chicago'.</p>

<p>Hollywood star Michael Douglas and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones recently celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, and to mark the occasion, Douglas, shared an adorable audio message on Instagram detailing how he met her. According to Fox News, it all began when he attended a screening of the movie, `The Mask of Zorro; one of Zeta-Jones` breakout roles.<br />
<br />
The 76-year-old actor recounted," I`m watching this movie, I go, `Wow, who is this girl, she`s incredible,`" Douglas recounted, and his friends told him about the actor who was then an up-and-comer.</p>

<br />
He recalled, "A month later, I was at the Deauville Film Festival. ... I see on the schedule that the next day at the festival, they`re going to have `Zorro` there. So I asked my assistant: `Can you find out if Catherine Zeta-Jones is going to be here at the festival and if she`s coming alone? And if she is, can I have a drink with her?`"The Oscar winner`s assistant came through and set up a rendezvous for the two."The next day, she arrives with Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, and I have a drink with her and it was everything I hoped for, then she invited me to dinner with her company, I`m thinking, `I`m looking good, this is looking good.`"After dinner, the 51-year-old actor Zeta-Jones had to hurry off to another engagement, but Douglas told her that he`d be at the bar later if she wanted to join him again.<br />
<br />
The `Ant-Man` actor reminisced,"Sure enough, I must have been batting one thousand, because, after the movie, I`m sitting at the bar, and like `Laurence of Arabia,` this mirage comes through the lobby and it`s Catherine Zeta-Jones."As per Fox News, the two enjoyed a bit more time together before Douglas hit Zeta-Jones with a bold line.</p>

She left early the next morning and I thought I completely had blown it.""She looked at me and she said, `I`ve heard a lot about you, I`ve heard a lot about you, I guess it`s all true good night.`"All hope was not lost, however, as they eventually "made contact" again, and, as Douglas put it, "the rest is history."<br />
<br />
The couple married in 2000 and now share two children: 20-year-old Dylan, and 17-year-old Carys. Douglas also has a 41-year-old son, Cameron, from a previous marriage.<br />

<p><a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/everyone-knew-about-weinstein-actress-21317" target="_blank">Harvey Weinstein&#39;s fall should be the end of &quot;dinosaur&quot; men preying on women</a>, Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones said Tuesday as she premiered a film about a woman who had a brutally efficient way of dealing with chauvinism.</p>

<p>The Oscar-winning actress said she hoped <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/new-york-police-probing-2004-weinstein-assault-case-22367" target="_blank">Weinstein&#39;s disgrace would be the &quot;tipping point or at last a turning point&quot;</a> in the treatment of women not just in Hollywood but in &quot;any industry, corporation, school or college.&quot;</p>

<p>&quot;Let&#39;s hope that big old dinosaur of men thinking they can get away with that sort of behavior is extinct as of now,&quot; she told reporters.</p>

<p>The British-born star, who plays the notorious Colombian drug baron Griselda Blanco in a new TV film, &quot;Cocaine Godmother&quot;, joked that her character had a rather direct way of dealing with male sexism: &quot;Shoot them in the head.&quot;</p>

<p>Zeta-Jones said that while that would not be her approach, as a woman &quot;you have to give her that, as we still fight for equality in the workplace.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;Griselda had no redeeming traits but the one thing she did have was the ability to stand up against men in a male world,&quot; she said as the film screened at MIPCOM, the top TV industry gathering, in Cannes on the French Riviera.</p>

<p>Sexism is not &quot;just a problem in the film, theatrical or TV industry,&quot; Zeta-Jones added. &quot;It is rife everywhere. As women, we get knocked down as being ambitious. Men don&#39;t get that. We should be proud of being ambitious, we shouldn&#39;t hide it.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>She said she hoped lessons were being learned from the Weinstein affair, &quot;otherwise we truly are stuck in a world that&#39;s very sad and very destructive.&quot;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite the dangers from predators, she advised young actors &quot;not to lose your vulnerability -- it is essential to your craft. Vulnerability is a beautiful character trait and we should have it and be allowed to have it. But it&#39;s important that we know it&#39;s protected.&quot;</p>

<p><strong>- Typecast for her beauty -</strong></p>

<p>Zeta-Jones, now 48, who left Britain for Hollywood because she felt she was being typecast for her beauty, said she glories in taking on difficult, ambiguous women like Blanco who was &quot;the most feared, dreaded woman in the drugs business&quot; in the 1970s and 1980s before the rise of Pablo Escobar.</p>

<p>&quot;It is very flattering to have your characters always as the &#39;beautiful sexy woman who walks into the room...&#39; But when I hear that I always go, &#39;Ah shoot! That&#39;s way too much time in hair and make-up.&#39; If I could just let all that go and find who this woman was...&quot;</p>

<p>Zeta-Jones said she gained weight for the role and put her back out from the weeks spent mimicking the way Blanco walked.</p>

<p>The actress, who played the wife of a drug lord in the critically-acclaimed film &quot;Traffic&quot; while she was pregnant with her now 17-year-old son, said playing this &quot;dreadful yet fascinating&quot; woman had unleashed &quot;a very sick dark sense of humor I have been hiding for years.&quot;</p>

<p>Even though Blanco was a shopaholic who filled her vast homes with designer clothes and accessories, her life was &quot;not at all glamorous&quot;.</p>

<p>&quot;She never left the house other than to kill someone,&quot; said Zeta-Jones.</p>

<p>Playing the so-called Black Widow as she aged meant she didn&#39;t have to worry about having &quot;baggy eyes&quot; if she didn&#39;t sleep well during filming.&nbsp;</p>

Zeta-Jones said she hoped lessons were being learned from the Weinstein affair, 'otherwise, we truly are stuck in a world that's very sad and very destructive'

Harvey Weinstein's fall should be the end of "dinosaur" men preying on women, Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones said Tuesday as she premiered a film about a woman who had a brutally efficient way of dealing with chauvinism. The Oscar-winning actress said she hoped Weinstein's disgrace would be the "tipping point or at last a turning point" in the treatment of women not just in Hollywood but in "any industry, corporation, school or college." "Let's hope that big old dinosaur of men thinking they can get away with that sort of behavior is extinct as of now," she told reporters.

Zeta-Jones said that while that would not be her approach, as a woman "you have to give her that, as we still fight for equality in the workplace." "Griselda had no redeeming traits but the one thing she did have was the ability to stand up against men in a male world," she said as the film screened at MIPCOM, the top TV industry gathering, in Cannes on the French Riviera.
