From the Stage to the Spotlight: Catherine's Oscar-Winning Legacy
Catherine Zeta-Jones is no stranger to the limelight, having won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her iconic role in Chicago back in 2003. The award was presented to her by none other than the legendary Sean Connery. At the time, Catherine began her speech with heartfelt gratitude: “Thank you so much. My Scotsman giving the Welsh girl,” she started, clearly overwhelmed. “I can’t believe it. Oh my gosh. This is too — I mean, my hormones are just too way out of control to be dealing with this.”
A Legacy of Love and Gratitude
During her acceptance speech, Catherine didn’t forget to thank the people who meant the most to her. She extended her gratitude to her husband of many years, Michael Douglas, and their only child at the time, Dylan. This was just a few weeks before Catherine welcomed her daughter Carys into the world. “I share this award with you, along with this one, too, thank you so much,” she expressed with deep emotion.
