Catherine Zeta Jones Early Life and her own Comments
Sexy siren Catherine Zeta-Jones is a wife, mother of two and a busy actress. She thinks she still has many great things ahead for herself and she's not even reached her sexual peak. Plus she might throw in some nudity.
Catherine talks about her career, and what her future holds in that aspect of her life and she hints that she might even be naked for her next movie role.
"Obviously, my career is expanding and I am a mother and so I'm not going to be rip-roaring in corsets playing a 19-year-old because I'm not, I'm 38-years-old.
"I'm actually really lucky and glad these other roles have come along and I can play a mother."
She however, isn't excluding sexy movie roles.
"In my next movie, which is an untitled movie at the moment, you'll be seeing a lot more of me, put it that way.
"I'm not going to be playing old grannies anytime soon. You see, I haven't actually reached my sexiest point yet."
Zeta-Jones is currently promoting her new film Death Defying Acts, a fictional story about an invented affair that Harry Houdini had with a Scottish con woman who claimed she could help him contact his dead mother. It's release date is March 13 in Australia, and will be out in South Korea, Brazil, Spain, and Russia at the end of April. There's no US release date as of yet.
