"For marriage to be a success, every woman and
every man should
have her and his own bathroom. The end."
- Catherine Zeta Jones
and her reason for this:
“Separate
bathrooms are always a really great idea. Mine is so messy;
I’d absolutely hate
for my husband to realize just how incredibly untidy I can be.”
And here`s a cute bathroom story from when Michael Douglas and Catherine were dating:
When Catherine told Michael that she had won a British tap
dancing contest when she was 12 he asked her to prove it, she didn`t want to
scratch up his newly refinished wood floors so she went into his bathroom and
did a tap dance for him in there. So cute and so considerate!
Some fun facts about Catherine Zeta Jones
- her working-class parents, Pat and David, won £100,000 during a night at
the bingo, allowing them to enrol Catherine in dance and ballet classes
- Her Dad owned a Welsh sweet factory (one article said he
was a manager at a sweet factory, but the rest say he owned one. I
searched for info on the sweet factory, but no luck! I would have thought
the press would have asked her what it was like to grow up with your own
sweet factory, I know I would have!)
- Her first professional role was the lead in Annie (one of
Sarah Jessica Parker`s first roles was also to play Annie)
- Catherine has the same birthday (September 25th) as her
husband, Michael Douglas and their difference in ages is 25 years (1969&1944)
- Some articles say she was introduced to Michael by Danny DeVito, others
say they were introduced by Antonio Banderas
- Her wedding band is made out of Welsh gold (so is Kate Middleton`s and
many of the British Royal family wore Welsh gold wedding bands. Welsh gold is
highly prized for its origin and scarcity)
- After the movie Zorro came out people kept on speaking to Catherine in
Spanish. She`s Welsh. She says that the movie instantly gave her a new ethnicity.
- Apparently, Catherine loves karaoke and keeps a karaoke machine in
her trailer while on movie sets...which was probably useful for her
next roll I talk about a bit later.
Catherine`s smart cookie moments:
- At the beginning of Catherine`s career, after auditioning for a role, having figured out what the casting director was looking for, Catherine would change into a different outfit and audition again that same day and she would usually end up getting the part. We can all learn something from that move!
- Catherine got a $20 million endorsement deal with cell phone carrier T-Mobile. At the time some people were shocked that she would take an endoresement deal. Here`s the great thing she said: "It was a deal that you could not – and should not – refuse. Everyone asked, 'Why is she doing this?' I'm also a businesswoman. Catherine Zeta-Jones is
a brand name". Smart cookie.
I can`t wait to see Catherine as Patricia Whitmore in the movie Rock of Ages:
