On The Big Screen
In 1990, Zeta-Jones made her film debut but it was her TV work that hit big with British audiences. After starring in the comedy-drama series The Darling Buds of May from 1991 to 1993, Zeta-Jones had made it. As the highest-rated TV show of that time, Catherine said, “Literally, with one hour of television my life completely changed. I couldn’t go anywhere.”
Moving On
After a string of film roles in England, Zeta-Jones was tired of getting typecast as the token pretty girl in all her British films, so she moved to Los Angeles. She said, “There was all this fuss about who I was and wasn’t dating. I was a pretty face and a big bust and nothing else. People in the business believed what they read about me. So I decided to move away and start again.”
