Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale was born on July 26, 1973, to two seasoned British television actors, and spent most of her life in London. Her half-sister Samantha is also an actress; they met briefly when Kate was very young and didn't cross paths again until 1995.

Kate made her acting debut in a television WWII drama called One Against the Wind, and was soon cast in a short corporate film about industrial accidents.

In 1991, Kate left for Oxford University's New College, where she majored in French and Russian literature. She already knew that she was going to be an actress, but in order to broaden her horizons, she decided to attend a regular university rather than drama school.

In 1993, she starred as "Hero" in the film adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Thanks to her role, she had the chance to travel to Tuscany, Italy, where the film was being shot. She eventually dropped out of her studies after winning the role in three other European productions.

Up next for Kate was a role in the 1995 BBC television satire, Cold Comfort Farm, which opened to rave reviews in American art house theaters and was a hit by indie standards. She continued performing in British theater for the next few years, and added some more forgettable films to her resume.

After the indie films Shooting Fish (1997) and The Last Days of Disco (1998), Kate costarred with Claire Danes in 1999's Brokedown Palace.
