Rumours are spreading that Catherine Zeta Jones is on the verge of buying a 17th century castle in the Vale of Glamorgan near Cardiff.
Catherine and her husband Michael Douglas, who are expecting their second child in the spring, are said to be looking for a permanent home in Wales, and it could be that Hensol Castle is just the place. A Grade One listed building and set in 155 acres of land, the castle is currently being used as a hospital for people with learning disabilities. It is due to close in 2004. All prospective buyers should place their bids by 22 November and the new owner will be announced by the end of the year.

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.
