Oscar success - 24/03/03

The Welsh pregnant actress collected the Oscar for her portrayal of ruthless murderess Velma Kelly. She dedicated the Oscar to husband Michael Douglas, son Dylan and her hometown of Swansea.
She said: "To everybody in Swansea, South Wales - I love you. To my son Dylan watching at home, and to my husband who I love, I share this award with you."
Song and Dance Act -20/03/03
Being eight and a half months pregnant will not stop Catherine from performing a song and a dance on stage at the Oscars.
She is going to perform a duet with co-star Queen Latifah, which is normally enough to get the attention from the audience. However, there is the added drama of possibly an early labour for Catherine - as the extra activity may bring on the baby! There will be a full medical crew waiting in the wings, just in case.
Catherine is expected to scoop Best Supporting Actress at the glittering awards ceremony for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago.

She went on to appear in numerous little noticed films and series’, including a made for TV film, Titanic, and comic book movie The Phantom, alongside Billy Zane. It was around this time that she was picked to star with Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro and Sean Connery in Entrapment. These films would make Catherine in to the Hollywood star we know today.
In 2000 she starred in Stephen Soderburgh’s Traffic with her future husband Michael Douglas. When they married later that year there was much critcism of the age difference (Douglas being 25 years her senior), however their marriage continues to go from strength to strength and they now have two children, Dylan (born in 2000) and Cerys (born in 2003).
Between babies and awards ceremonies CZJ has made a real name for herself as a leading lady in films such as The Terminal, Ocean’s Eleven and America’s Sweethearts. She has also won an Oscar for her all-singing, all-dancing part in musical Chicago whilst also working as spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden.
