Welsh-born actress Catherine Zeta-Jones first captivated U.S. film audiences with her swashbuckling turn in “The Mask of Zorro” (1998) – leaving moviegoers so mesmerized by her ebony-tressed old Hollywoodesque beauty, it was a wonder she was able to move beyond all the comparisons to Ava Gardner and Vivien Leigh – enough to garner respect as a serious actress. It was her impressive turn in “Traffic” (2000) and Oscar-winning scenery-chewing for her musical showstoppers in “Chicago” (2002) which firmly established her as a Hollywood A-lister. That, and a fairytale-likened marriage to one of the industry’s most respected actors-producers, Michael Douglas; thusly, entry into one of Hollywood’s most famous and respected families.

Tall, dark and photogenic, Benicio Del Toro spent several years in less than memorable supporting roles before his breakthrough as the mumbling Fred Fenster, the most erratic of the conspirators, in Bryan Singer's "The Usual Suspects" (1995). After that award-winning turn, the actor seemed on his way to a sterling career, although not all of efforts have met with box-office success.
