That same year, Douglas married actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. He's been married to Jones since November 18, 2000. They have two children. In 1980 he was involved in a serious skiing accident which sidelined his acting career for three years. In September of 1992 he underwent treatment for alcohol abuse at Sierra Tucson Center.
