Welsh Beauty

Zeta-Jones, the middle of three children, was born Catherine Zeta Jones in Swansea, a maritime city located on the southern coast of Wales and the hometown of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Her mother, Patricia, was an Irish seamstress, and her father, David "Dai" Jones, was a Welsh sweet factory owner. Her father's cousin is married to singer Bonnie Tyler, who is also from Swansea, Wales. Her uncle owns Swansea's Škoda car dealership as well as Llanelli A.F.C. football club. Her name stems from those of her grandmothers — her maternal grandmother, Katherine Fair, and her paternal grandmother, Zeta Jones. The name "Zeta" originated from a ship that Catherine's great-grandfather used to captain out of Swansea Bay.
