Catherine Zeta Jones dancing and playing the part of Peggy Sawyer in 42nd Street
Catherine Zeta Jones dancing and playing the part of Peggy Sawyer in 42nd Street, which opened in April 1987 at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London.
In 1987, when she was 17 years old, Zeta-Jones was picked as the second understudy to the lead actress in a West End production of 42nd Street. During one of the performances, both the star and the first understudy were unavailable, and Zeta-Jones was asked to play the role of Peggy Sawyera chorus girl who becomes a star. The producer was impressed by her acting ability and allowed her to play the role for the next two years.
Jill Gascoine, also starred in this production, as Dorothy Brock. Jill is best known for her role as Maggie Forbes in the TV series The Gentle Touch.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Catherine Zeta Jones in her breakout role as Peggy Sawyer in the iconic musical, 42nd Street. At just 17 years old, Zeta-Jones was chosen as the second understudy for the lead actress in this West End production at The Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London. In a stroke of fate, both the star and first understudy were unable to perform during one show, leading to Zeta-Jones being thrust into the spotlight. With grace and talent beyond her years, she flawlessly portrayed Peggy Sawyer - a chorus girl who rises to stardom. Impressed by her remarkable acting ability, the producer allowed her to continue playing this coveted role for two more years. Sharing the stage with Zeta-Jones was Jill Gascoine, renowned for her portrayal of Maggie Forbes in The Gentle Touch TV series. In this production of 42nd Street, Gascoine played Dorothy Brock alongside Zeta-Jones' Peggy Sawyer. Taken on April 6th, 1987, this photograph transports us back to an era filled with tap-dancing magic and theatrical brilliance. It serves as a testament not only to Catherine Zeta Jones' early talent but also to her enduring success that would follow throughout her illustrious career. Preserved by Doreen Spooner's lens through Memory Lane Prints, this image is a cherished reminder of an unforgettable moment in theater history.
