Catherine Zeta-Jones returns this week in Wednesday, a new horror comedy series set in the world of The Addams Family. She plays Morticia Adams, the glamorous and rather mysterious mother of Jenna Ortega's title character. It isn't the first iconic or high-profile role the Welsh actress has played, so we're taking a look back at seven key moments in the evolution of her impressively versatile career. 
1. British TV Fame: The Darling Buds of May (1991-1993)
Zeta-Jones' breakthrough role came in this cozy drama series set in rural England in the 1950s. She played Mariette, the eldest daughter of wheeler-dealer Pop Larkin (David Jason) and dependable Ma Larkin (Pam Ferris). The Darling Buds of May was based on an H.E. Bates novel that has since been adapted again, into the hit Acorn TV series The Larkins.

2. Hollywood Leading Lady: The Mask of Zorro (1998)
After moving to L.A. to pursue new career opportunities, Zeta-Jones became a major star when she landed a role in this hit swashbuckling film. Holding her own opposite Antonio Banderas and fellow Welsh export Anthony Hopkins, she's a delight to watch as Zorro's formidable love interest Eléna Montero.

3. Serious Dramatic Actress: Traffic (2000)
Zeta-Jones earned a Golden Globe nomination for her riveting performance in this Oscar-winning crime movie directed by Steven Soderbergh. She plays Helena Ayala, the pregnant wife of a powerful drug lord,x who initially seems benign and well-meaning, but turns out to be quite the opposite.

4. Oscar-Winning Musical Performer: Chicago (2002)
As a teenager, Zeta-Jones cut her teeth performing on stage in Wales and London's West End, so this movie musical was a great fit for her. She won Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe awards for her full-throttle performance as the vengeful Vaudeville star Velma Kelly. Her rendition of the famous song "All That Jazz" is quite memorable. 

5. Broadway Star: A Little Night Music (2009)
Zeta-Jones made her Broadway debut – and first stage appearance since the 1990s – in an acclaimed revival of Stephen Sondheim's poignant musical. Impressively, she won a Tony award for her performance as Desiree, a once-successful actress whose career has gone downhill. As part of the role, she got to sing the classic song "Send in the Clowns."

6. Big Screen Baddie: Side Effects (2013)
This psychological thriller (also directed by Soderbergh) contains one of Zeta-Jones' most interesting roles. She plays Dr. Victoria Siebert, an enigmatic psychiatrist who prescribes Emily Taylor (Rooney Mara) experimental medication after her husband is sent to prison. Zeta-Jones' subtly sinister performance will really keep you guessing as to her motives.

7. TV Character Actress: Feud: Bette and Joan (2017)
Zeta-Jones took on her first TV role in more than 20 years in this gripping Ryan Murphy miniseries. She gives a warm and well-judged performance as Olivia de Havilland, the Hollywood legend who was a longtime friend and co-star of feisty title character Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon).
