We are thrilled to announce that Welsh actress Catherine Zeta Jones will be joining us for a live webchat on Thursday 28 January from 10.30am - 11.15am.

Catherine started her career on the stage, winning critical acclaim for her musical prowess before exploding all over the nation's consciousness in The Darling Buds of May. Since then she has learned swordfighting for her role in The Mask of Zorro, made Steven Soderbergh's acclaimed Traffic while pregnant, and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the film adaptation of Chicago. And now, on Thursday, we will have her full attention

In her latest role Catherine plays the journalist Rose Winters in the movie version of the seventies TV classic Dad's Army. DON'T TELL HIM, PIKE.

Please do join us on the day to chat to Catherine - and if you can't make it on the day please post up your questions in advance. As ever please do also remember our webchat guidelines.

Dad's Army is released in cinemas on Friday 5 February.

Thanks
MNHQ

Thanks for answering my question Catherine. You are right about diet soda.

I gave up diet coke three years ago and feel a lot better for it.

Great webchat! There is a Rosamund Lupton book called Afterwards which is a terrific thriller - I could see you in the title role. A little darker than some of your work so it would fit your criteria for 'different'. And it's got female relationships (some great, some toxic) at its heart...

All the comment sections in the Guardian are revolting. It's where the pond life hang out.

That was really interesting. Thank you.

It's a pity the Comic Relief sketch was doomed because of the weather.

I think that was one of the best web chats ever on here. Smile So lovely and open.

If anyone is checking up on this for Catherine, yes, please do think about your own make up line. I'd buy the lot so that's at least one customer already. Grin Youre interested in design and beauty, you'd be perfect!

Thank you for taking time to do this, I really enjoyed it.

The Well - it was amazing. Attwood style dystopia. Or The Last Runaway by Tracy Chevalier.
