Catherine Zeta-Jones has appeared in public for the first time since being treated for bipolar II disorder.
The actress, who is married to Michael Douglas, spent five days at the Silver Hill psychiatric hospital in Connecticut from April 6 for the treatment.
This weekend, she visited a village close to her £5m US holiday home with her seven-year-old daughter Carys. Her parents are thought to have flown to Connecticut to support her.
A local told the News of the World: "Catherine looked in astonishing shape considering she's been through such a tough time.
"Her daughter was clearly delighted to be with her, and was chatting away with her. They looked so happy together. It shows what a strong woman she is.
"People didn't pester her. She looked great - very together and beautiful. No one would have imagined that just a few days ago she was in a treatment centre."
Zeta-Jones has been praised by celebrities including Demi Lovato for seeking help.
