Petite and pretty, with
dark hair, pale skin and flashing eyes, Kate Beckinsale
made a strong film debut as the virginal Hero in Kenneth
Branagh's sun-dappled adaptation of "Much Ado About
Nothing" (1993). Although she was a screen novice, the
actress projected the requisite intelligence and star
quality that deemed her one to watch.
As the daughter of
comic Richard Beckinsale (who died when she was five
years old) and actress Judy Loe, it was perhaps
inevitable that she would eventually find her way to the
limelight. Beckinsale, however, spent a good portion of
her teen years struggling with an eating disorder (of
which she has spoken frankly in interviews) before she
decided to try her hand at acting. After a bit part in
the BBC mystery "Devices and Desires" (1991), she landed
the pivotal role of the rebellious daughter of a British
woman (Judy Davis) involved with the French Resistance
during WWII in "One Against the Wind" (CBS, 1991). Once
she had become established as an ingenue with "Much Ado
About Nothing", Beckinsale carefully crafted a career
path that would not find her typecast.
Her highest profile
role to date came in "Underworld" (2003), a glossy
supernatural thriller with Romeo-and-Juliet overtones,
in which Beckinsale played Selene, a vampire emobroiled
in her kind's long feud with a werewolf clan who falls
in love with one of her blood enemies (Scott Speedman).
Beckinsale followed up with another action-packed
supernatural thriller, teaming with Hugh Jackman for
"Van Helsing" (2004), in which she played Anna Valerious,
a vampire slayer from a long line committed to ending
the reign of Count Dracula who teams with the count's
longtime human foe. The actress was better served by her
next project, director Martin Scorses's Howard Hughes
glamorous and visually arresting biopic "The Aviator"
(2004), in which the actress provided a sultry spark as
the firey film icon Ava Gardner, Hughes' (Leonardo
DiCaprio) most challenging, yet sympathetic, paramour.
