Michael asked Catherine if he could sit next to her.
He famously told her he was going to be the father of her children, which shocked her, she said, and soon after sent her flowers to apologize.
They started a friendship.
“Nine months later, I still have long conversations with him on the phone, have great dinner dates, and constantly ask myself, ‘Why aren’t we together?'” she told King.
“One day we looked at each other and said, ‘We’re having a lot of fun together,'” she said.
Douglas proposed to Zeta-Jones at his home in Aspen on New Year’s Eve in 1999 with a $1 million diamond ring.
