Catherine Zeta-Jones

Catherine Zeta-Jones strikes me as the rare star whose glamour can distract people from how complete her toolkit actually is. The Swansea girl who dreamed of acting trained as a dancer first, and you can see it in everything she does — the physical precision, the timing, the command of a stage. Winning an Academy Award for the screen and a Tony for the theatre is a double very few performers ever manage, and the CBE feels like Wales claiming its own. I admire that she never let Hollywood flatten her into mere elegance; underneath the polish is a working performer's discipline, and that is what keeps her interesting to me.
