Making headlines this week after a series of stunning photographs of her new slim-line image were published in an American magazine, Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones was back in the limelight when she attended the Los Angeles opening of her new movie The Terminal.
Wearing a figure-hugging black gown and stylish tasselled sandals, the Swansea-born actress was joined by her co-star Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, also elegant in a gold lamé sheath.
In the movie Catherine plays a flight attendant who becomes romantically involved with Tom's character – an Eastern European who finds himself stranded in a US airport after being left nation-less following a civil war in his homeland.
And while Catherine was putting her best foot forward on the red carpet, it emerged that she's enabled her much-loved grandmother to do the same back home, by paying for a pair of replacement knees for her.
Zeta Jones, 86, was whisked off the National Health Service list and propelled into a private nursing home. Her practical granddaughter, who splashed out £16,000 for the operation and the best after-care, says that now, "She's good to go. She's like a little whippet." |
