Catherine Zeta-Jones
Zeta-Jones had previously earned a Golden Globe nomination for her work in Steven Soderbergh's drama Traffic, and, along with her castmates, won a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Motion Picture Cast.
More recently, Zeta-Jones starred opposite George Clooney in the Coen brothers' comedy Intolerable Cruelty, in which she played a gold-digging Beverly Hills divorcee. Later this year, she will be reteamed with Clooney in Ocean's Twelve, the sequel to Ocean's Eleven, which also reunites her with her Traffic director Steven Soderbergh.

She is next set to reprise her role in Zorro 2, which brings her together again with Banderas under the direction of Campbell.
Zeta-Jones' additional film credits include Jon Amiel's romantic thriller Entrapment, opposite Sean Connery; Jan De Bont's The Haunting; Stephen Frears' High Fidelity; and Joe Roth's directorial debut feature America's Sweethearts, with Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal and John Cusack.
