Catherine Zeta-Jones: All class, style, and sex appeal
The actress turns 52 on September 25
© Getty Images
The Welsh actress got her first paycheck at age nine, for her lead role in the West End production of ‘Annie.’ Years later, she established herself across the pond in Hollywood as a figure of undeniable sex appeal, with notable films including 'The Mask of Zorro' and 'Entrapment.' Since then, she’s gained acclaim for her roles in ‘Traffic’ and her Oscar-winning performance in ‘Chicago.’
While she’s a figure of fantasy to most, Catherine Zeta-Jones is a prolific actress, a devoted wife to Michael Douglas, a mother of two, a philanthropist, and a down-to-earth woman. She knows the significance of looks in entertainment, but she’s never been one to put all her eggs in one basket. "This business is tough, specifically tough for women,” she's explained. “We can’t get a few gray hairs.”
That said, she still sets the bar impossibly high for what women over 50 can look like. Click through to see her best looks over the years.
