Actor Catherine Zeta-Jones recalled the time she won an Academy Award for her performance in the 2002 American musical black crime comedy film 'Chicago', reported People.

The actress won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2003 for her role as showgirl-turned-murderess Velma Kelly in the movie.

During a conversation at the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Zeta-Jones said of both her Oscar and Tony Award win, "To be acknowledged by the Broadway lights, that was wonderful. But the Academy Award was something that was totally unexpected. It blew my mind," reported People.

Zeta-Jones won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Desiree Armfeldt in Stephen Sondheim's 2009 revival of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music.

At the Red Sea Film Festival, the Welsh actress talked about her dance and vocal training, which began when she was a child, including learning to tap dance at age four.

"I started very young too in the theater. I'm certainly not a young chick. I've been in the industry for a very long time and I've loved every minute of it," she said.

Zeta-Jones also reflected on collaborating with other dancers on the set of 'Chicago', a unique experience compared to her stage training.

"The whole process of the rehearsals, when you think of the screen, all the different angles we had to do for those routines, that collaboration with dancers who felt I speak their language, it was wonderful," said the actress, reported People. (ANI)
