Veteran Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta Jones says she sometimes looks back and wonders about some of the major movie roles she was offered but chose not to take early in her career. Though she has appeared in many successful films, Zeta Jones told People that there were opportunities with big budgets that she passed on for various personal and professional reasons.
The Oscar-winning actress, now in her mid-50s, explained that she was offered many roles in large films when she was starting out. She admitted that occasionally she catches herself thinking she might have tried them, but she remains overall happy with her choices. Zeta Jones also said that spending time with her family and maintaining balance in her personal life were important factors in deciding which roles to accept.
Zeta Jones has won praise for performances in films such as Traffic and The Mask of Zorro, and she continues to choose roles that satisfy her creatively rather than just financially. According to recent interviews, she feels fortunate to have worked with respected directors and taken part in both mainstream and critically acclaimed projects.
Her recent work includes starring in The Gallerist and appearing in the Netflix series Wednesday, showing that she continues to remain active and selective in her career.
