Catherine Zeta-Jones – Mariette from The Darling Buds of May

The Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is a very recognizable movie star, but she had to work hard to make a name for herself in Hollywood. In 1991, she was hardly a popular performer when she bagged the role of Mariette in the soapy drama series “The Darling Buds of May.”

The project helped kickstart her brilliant career, which includes movies as enjoyable as “The Mask of Zorro,” “Chicago,” and “Intolerable Cruelty.” Still appearing in popular Hollywood productions, Zeta-Jones is the star of the 2021 TV series “Prodigal Son.”
