An Honor
In 2010, Zeta-Jones was actually appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire by the Monarchy of the United Kingdom. Thanks to her success in film and charity work. A jack of all trades, we’d say. When being honored, she said, “As a British subject, I feel incredibly proud, at the same time it is overwhelming and humbling. And my mum and dad are delighted beyond belief.”

Work Ethic
We’ve already said that Zeta-Jones grew up with a strong work ethic, and she still believes that that’s the way things should be done. “I didn’t even think about movies where I came from. I wanted to be on the stage. When I was 10, I did Annie in the West End. I did Bugsy Malone when I was 11 and 12. And then at 16, David Merrick saw me in 42nd Street. I took over the lead and he cast me. I was there for two and a half years. Right now, these young kids are going crazy. I never had that because I had a work ethic. I had to turn up and be there six nights a week.”
