Actress Catherine Zeta Jones is accepting just a third of what she demanded for her prenuptial agreement with fiancé Michael Douglas

The Hollywood couple, who share a 25 September birthday, have 

been arguing over the contract for months; but the sexy Welsh 

star, 31, has given in to the Basic Instinct star, accepting only $1.5 million for each year of their marriage, instead 

of the $4.5 million she originally demanded. 

A source says, "Catherine was angry when she first heard what the 

prenuptial agreement contained and thought it was unfair. She had 

meeting with her lawyers and they told her she should hold out for 

more. 

"But she was fed up with all the tit-for-tat rows and wanted it 

settled so she could get on with the wedding plans." 

And in the unusual contract 56-year-old Douglas will keep all 

wedding presents worth over $18,000; but will give the mother of his 8-week-old son Dylan a cash lump sum before their 

wedding next month, November 18, 2000 – Wenn.
