She was raised Irish Roman Catholic as a child, which was her mother's religion. She attended Dumbarton House School and was an average student. She left school early to pursue an acting career. She took her stage name Zeta, from a ship that her great grandfather had sailed on called the Zeta Jones.

She also stared in The Haunting, Traffic, High Fidelity and America's Sweethearts with Julia Roberts and John Cusack.
