There are new fears that Catherine Zeta-Jones is buckling under the strain of her hectic lifestyle and fraught personal life, amid a string of cancelled Broadway performances – blamed on a mystery illness – and ongoing weight loss.
The increasingly gaunt and pale actress, who is starring in the Broadway musical A Little Night Music, has pulled out of several shows over the past few weeks, blaming a virus.
The star also cancelled an Actors’ Fund benefit performance.
“Catherine is deeply frustrated [about her health],” a theatre source told the New York Post newspaper amid speculation about what might be behind her plunging weight and sickly appearance.
“I hate the word ‘juggle’, but I’m trying to make everyone not feel that they’ve lost their mother to the theatre.”
