Catherine Zeta-Jones is a stunning combination. On the one hand she is a down-to-earth wife, mother and 'girl next door' who didn't think twice about chanting 'Oggi Oggi Oggi!' during a recent BAFTA speech, and on the other, a glamorous, Oscar-winning Hollywood actress whose close friends include Julia Roberts. Now, in this first biography of Zeta-Jones, her extraordinary story is revealed. From her close-knit Welsh family and performances with the local Catholic dance group, to TV fame in The Darling Buds of May, her 2-year relationship with then Blue Peter presenter and now alleged rapist, John Leslie, through to her courageous move to the US and break into the world of feature films, rapidly culminating in lead roles alongside Sean Connery and Renee Zellweger. The book looks at how she has adapted to being a Mum and her high-profile marriage to A-list actor Michael Douglas. He is apparently smitten with his wife, but how does he fit in down the local in Mumbles? And how do they cope with the 'Fatal Attraction' tag that their relationship carries, with critics claiming it will never last due to the obvious age-difference and his track record in infidelity.
Right up-to-date with coverage of the recent 'wedding pictures' court case, which resulted in a wave of hostile publicity from the British media, Catherine Zeta-Jones is sure to be a page-turner that finally provides the first in-depth portrait of this glamorous star.
