Catherine Zeta-Jones' heart is particularly captivated by New York's art. In an exclusive conversation with People, the Oscar-winning actress candidly shared her thoughts on whether leaving Hollywood to reside in New York City had been "detrimental" to her acting career. "It's amusing," the 56-year-old actress told the publication. "I've lived on the East Coast with Michael for many, many years, and it's intriguing to ponder whether it's been detrimental to my career."
She admitted, "I never quite know because I've never been in L.A. schmoozing." Catherine revealed that her and her family's social life hardly revolves around Hollywood. "In fact, I spend more time with New York business people, Wall Street people, art people," she noted. "Our friends and the people we bump into are different than if I were in L.A. And that's not detrimental to L.A. and the people who live there at all; it's just that I'm taking a few different turns here in the city."
The city's art is what truly draws her in, she said, "I used to go and love to look at people's art in their fancy houses in the Hamptons." Currently, Catherine is also exploring being "an eclectic collector." "I've kind of been dipping my toes in that world," she added.
The family recently went on a getaway to Antarctica, where Catherine "didn't buy anything there," but "took $60,000 worth of Leica cameras." She marveled, "Talk about art — I mean, just to be in that environment, you look around, and it's just the most amazing natural art."
