Kate Beckinsale biography
Kathryn Bailey "Kate" Beckinsale (born 26 July, 1973) is an England actor, known for her roles in the films Pearl Harbor (movie) (2001), Underworld (2003 film) (2003), Van Helsing (film) (2004), and The Aviator (2004). BiographyEarly lifeBorn in Finsbury Park, London, London, Beckinsale is the daughter of actor Richard Beckinsale, who died from a heart attack in 1979, and actress Judy Loe. She has a paternal half-sister, Samantha Beckinsale, who is also an actress. Beckinsale's paternal great-grandfather was Bamar, and Beckinsale has said that she was "very oriental-looking" as a child. Beckinsale attended the private Godolphin and Latymer School, an all-girls Independent school (UK) in London. In her teens, Beckinsale twice won the W. H. Smith Young Writers' competition — once for three short stories and once for three poems. After a rebellious adolescence, including a period of Anorexia nervosa and starting a smoking habit, she followed in the footsteps of her parents and began her acting career. Her first role was in One Against the Wind, a television film about World War II that was first aired in 1991. Having gained three language A levels, Beckinsale studied French literature and Russian literature at New College, Oxford, University of Oxford, though she did not finish her degree. On 24 January, 2006, Beckinsale was featured on the MTV series, Punk'd. The set-up for the segment took place at the Avalon Hotel in Los Angeles. Also in 2006, Beckinsale appeared in the comedy Click (film), starring Adam Sandler, which opened on June 23. Next, Beckinsale replaced Sarah Jessica Parker in the film Vacancy (film), released in 2007. Her next role was in Snow Angels, which was released in 2008. At Comic-Con 2007, she expressed interest in playing Catwoman in the current Christopher Nolan-directed Batman films. In April 2007, during an interview promoting Vacancy, Beckinsale claimed no knowledge of the rumors linking her to a remake of Barbarella (film). "I was told on the set yesterday, someone said, 'Oh I hear you're doing Barbarella, one of the grips. So that's the most official it's become. Every woman would consider Barbarella for a moment, but I don't know."
Beckinsale is signed to Independent Models in London.
Personal lifeBeckinsale and her ex-boyfriend Michael Sheen have a daughter, Lily Mo Sheen (born 31 January, 1999). She reported in interviews that during her pregnancy with Lily was the only time she has ever stopped smoking. During the Underworld shoot, Beckinsale split from Sheen, who starred as her mortal enemy, Lucian, leader of the Lycans. She became involved with the director of the film, Len Wiseman. In June 2003, Beckinsale became engaged to Wiseman, and the two were married on 9 May, 2004 in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California, California.
She is close friends with Victoria Beckham.
