Catherine Zeta-Jones was educated at Dumbarton House School, a co-educational independent school in Swansea, Wales but left early to further her acting ambitions without obtaining the O-levels (ordinary level, equivalent to a high school degree in the United States).  Later, she attended the independent The Arts Educational Schools in Chiswick, West London, for a full-time, three-year course in musical theatre.

Zeta-Jones met actor Michael Douglas, who is exactly 25 years her senior, at the Deauville Film Festival in France in August 1998, after being introduced by Danny DeVito.  They began dating in March 1999 and became engaged on December 31, 1999, and were married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on November 18, 2000.
