Which actress did Michael Douglas marry in 2000?

The story behind the answer

Michael Douglas married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000.

Douglas and Zeta-Jones met at the Deauville American Film Festival in France in 1998. They became engaged in 1999 and married on 18 November 2000 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Their age difference attracted considerable media attention, but the couple continued their relationship and careers in the public eye.

Douglas is the son of actor Kirk Douglas and won Academy Awards as a producer of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and as an actor for Wall Street. Zeta-Jones won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Chicago, released in 2002, after their wedding.

They have two children, Dylan and Carys. Douglas also has a son, Cameron, from his previous marriage to Diandra Luker. This family detail can cause confusion when summaries list all of Douglas’s children together.
