Zeta-Jones Criticizes the 'Nepo Baby' Label as Horrific

The interview also highlights her early theatre breakthrough in 42nd Street (1987) and rise to international stardom, along with classic roles in The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, Traffic, and Chicago, and notes that she met Douglas at the Deauville Film Festival in 1998.
