Catherine Zeta-Jones Weighs East Coast Life Against L.A. Networking

She describes a New York–centered routine that favors art and business circles over Hollywood socializing.

Overview

  • In a new People interview, Zeta-Jones said she is unsure whether living away from Los Angeles and avoiding industry “schmoozing” has been detrimental to her career.
  • She and husband Michael Douglas live about 40 minutes outside New York City, where she spends more time with business, Wall Street and art communities than with Hollywood insiders.
  • The couple listed their Irvington, New York, riverfront estate in June 2024 after their children left home, reflecting an empty‑nest shift and broader lifestyle recalibration.
  • Despite stepping back from Hollywood’s social scene, she remains active with The Gallerist premiering at Sundance in January and upcoming roles in Netflix’s Wednesday and Prime Video’s Kill Jackie.
  • She describes herself as an eclectic art collector and recounted taking $60,000 worth of Leica cameras on a recent family trip to Antarctica.
