Zeta-jones Takes A Lesson In Welsh....
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones had to perfect her old accent for a new mountain climbing documentary after producers told her she didn't sound Welsh enough.A Mountain to Climb producer John Morgan felt the Oscar winner had developed too much of a Hollywood tone and asked her to chat to her father over the phone in an effort to regain the accent she grew with in Swansea.Morgan says, "When I met her she was making a film where she had an American accent, so you could here it in her voice. We made sure that when we went to record her she had the full Welsh treatment."We encouraged her to talk to her dad on the phone too. The end result sounds wonderful."Morgan's new movie, which is narrated by Zeta-Jones, follows a charity celebrity hike up Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro by Welsh celebrities.Meanwhile in other news the star Catherine Zeta-Jones is amazed some people still presume the only reason she wed Michael Douglas was for financial reasons, despite the fact the couple has two children together and have been man and wife for nearly seven years.The Mask Of Zorro star insists she never set out to snare a wealthy husband - and her marriage is all about love, not money.She says, "There's some preconceived notion that I married Michael for his money, or I swan around in kimonos, making big demands. It's completely not the case.
"I've been working since I was 11 - actually, since I was 10 - in one business that's taken me through all my life. I just happened to meet my husband."
