Catherine Zeta-Jones, CBE, born 25 September 1969), is a Welsh actress. Raised in Swansea, she played roles in West End musicals from her early teens. She studied musical theatre at the Arts Educational Schools, London, and made her adult stage breakthrough with a leading role in 1987 in 42nd Street. She found great success as a regular in the British television series The Darling Buds of May (1991–93). Dismayed at being typecast as the token pretty girl in British films, Zeta-Jones relocated to Los Angeles and established herself in Hollywood. Critics praised her portrayal of a vengeful pregnant woman in Traffic (2000) and a murderous singer in the musical film Chicago (2002), winning her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She continued to star in high-profile films for much of the 2000s, including the black comedy Intolerable Cruelty (2003), the heist film Ocean's Twelve (2004), the comedy The Terminal (2004), and the romantic comedy No Reservations (2007). Parts in smaller-scale features were followed by a decrease in workload, during which she returned to stage and portrayed an ageing actress in A Little Night Music (2009), winning the Tony Award for Best Actress. Zeta-Jones' struggle with depression and bipolar II disorder has been well-documented by the media.

 * Oppose let's allow the dust to settle on the circumstances of the previous scheduling / unscheduling first (see discussion). There is no rush to get this on the main page. Retrohead, this is the second time that you've nominated it since the original unscheduling, and the first time you nominated it, your nomination was removed by a TFA coordinator, . Why have you tried again? BencherliteTalk 21:06, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per the above and because of some errors/sub-standard edits made in the interim. While there were one or two minor improvements, the article has also been downgraded at the same time and does not now represent our best work. – Gavin (talk) 22:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Bencherlite above and elsewhere. Emotions and tempers have been at breaking point so I feel it would be wiser (and more considerate) to let everything settle down before running this.  SagaciousPhil  - Chat 09:33, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
