Executive Vice President said he was “thrilled” that the actress will working with the company, calling her “the epitome of personal style, elegance and sophistication”. The Mask Of Zorro star will launch the high-profile “Open For Beauty” campaign in June with the introduction of a new fragrance.
The news of Catherine’s new contract comes on the heels of Atomic Kitten’s announcement last week that they’ve signed with Avon to promote a line of cosmetics. However, the Traffic beauty's multi-million dollar salary surpasses the six-figures to be earned by the feline trio, and also edges out Elizabeth Hurley’s $3 million contract with Estée Lauder.
