Catherine Zeta-Jones gets honorary fellowship

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has received an honorary fellowship from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

The 43-year-old, who has starred in movies like "Traffic" and "Chicago", was the recipient of the prestigious degree along with actors Matthew Rhys and Rhys Ifans, reports contactmusic.com.

"We're delighted to honour these distinguished artists who have achieved international distinction in their field," said college principal Hilary Boulding.

"It's particularly exciting to welcome these prestigious fellows in the same month that the Royal Welsh College's training was ranked in the Guardian University League Tables among the top five UK conservatoires for its music and the best in the UK for drama training," added Boulding.
