Catherine: Hollywood is soft now

-

CATHERINE Zeta Jones has said she thinks Hollywood has gone soft.

The Oscar-winner said that she had learned some harsh truths from her father-in-law, Kirk Douglas, while she was doing research for her new series, Feud, on the conflict between classic film stars Joan Crawford and Bette Davis.

She said: “They worked really hard. Much harder than actors these days. We don’t have a clue.

“He told me that they used to have to do 17 to 20 movies a year.

“Twenty movies! It’s unthinkabl­e.

“They worked so hard but they existed in a wonderful world and it’s fabulous to get the chance to delve into it now in some small way.”
