Has Catherine Zeta ever looked sweeter?

- Mail Foreign Service

IT was a day for father and son to hog the limelight – but the supporting actress still drew her fair share of attention.

Michael Douglas was on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to see his star unveiled.

It is only a few feet away from the one honouring his father Kirk – who appropriat­ely was there to witness the ceremony.

So too was Michael’s Welsh actress wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, 49, with whom he has children Dylan, 18, and Carys, 15. She looked stunning in a figure-hugging offthe-shoulder polka dot black and white dress.

A month short of his 102nd birthday but still going strong, Kirk Douglas greeted Michael with a kiss and looked on proudly from his wheelchair as his eldest son – a relative spring chicken at 74 – received the honour.

Douglas junior, whose films include Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Wall Street and Romancing The Stone, is the 2,648th recipient of a star since the completion of the Walk of Fame. He is perhaps better known to younger film– goers for his portrayal of physicist Hank Pym in Ant-Man and is about to be seen on the new Netflix comedy The Kominsky Method.

A speech in his honour was given by Jane Fonda, his co-star in the 1979 nuclear meltdown drama The China Syndrome. Kirk Douglas, whose films included Spartacus, Lust For Life and Seven Days In May, was among the first 1,558 celebritie­s honoured with a stone and brass star when the Walk of Fame was opened in 1961.
