Q: Has Catherine Zeta-Jones retired from acting? Also, has she ever starred in anything with her husband, Michael Douglas? -- R.B.
A:While Catherine Zeta-Jones' level of stardom isn't as high as it was during the earlier part of her career, when she starred in movies like "The Mask of Zorro" and "Chicago" (the latter of which she won an Oscar for), she's still acting -- a lot. She currently plays Morticia Addams in the Netflix series "Wednesday," and right before this, she starred in two short-lived shows: "National Treasure: Edge of History" on Disney+ and "Prodigal Son" on Fox.
If you missed it, be sure to check out her portrayal of the late, great film star Olivia de Havilland in the TV miniseries "Feud" (on Hulu), opposite Jessica Lange's Joan Crawford. Even though she wasn't nominated for an Emmy, it's a series that's worth watching for its fabulous depiction of an on-set rivalry during Hollywood's Golden Age.
Also, Zeta-Jones isn't slowing down anytime soon. She's co-starring with Sir Anthony Hopkins in the upcoming movie "A Visit to Grandpa's," which takes place in her native Wales, and you can currently catch her in the new Amazon Prime Video series "Kill Jackie."
As for her hubby, Michael Douglas, they both starred in the Oscar-nominated film "Traffic" in 2000, but didn't share any scenes together. They actually had met two years earlier at a film festival and tied the knot a month before "Traffic" premiered.

Q:When's the new season of "The Last of Us" coming out? I'm still upset that Pedro Pascal isn't in it anymore. He's my favorite actor. -- H.S.
A:While the third season of the hit HBO series "The Last of Us" was renewed back in April 2025, like most cable and streaming series these days, there can be years between a new set of episodes. According to HBO's CEO Casey Bloys, we do know that the magical year will be 2027 -- but not before then.
Recently, it was announced that the great John Goodman ("The Righteous Gemstones") has joined the cast, along with two new actors -- Laura Bailey and Ian Alexander -- who incidentally did voice work for the video-game version of "The Last of Us."

Q: I thought Ben Stiller's daughter was really good in "The Comeback." Is she going to be in anything else soon? -- M.G.
A:Ben Stiller grew up with two hilarious actor parents -- Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller, who formed their own comedy duo. The funny genes are strong in their family and in Ben's wife, Christine Taylor ("The Brady Bunch Movie"). So, it's no wonder that their daughter, Ella Stiller, appears to be a natural as well. She played Lisa Kudrow's accident-prone assistant in the HBO series "The Comeback" and also had a recurring role in "And Just Like That ... "
Next up for Ella is the CBS legal drama series "Cupertino," where she'll be a series regular alongside Mike Colter ("Luke Cage") and Busy Philipps ("Girls5eva").
