Kathrin Romary 'Kate' Beckinsale (born 26 July 1973) is an English actress. After some minor
television roles, she made her film debut in Much Ado About Nothing
(1993) while still a student at Oxford University. She then appeared in
British costume dramas such as Prince of Jutland (1994), Cold Comfort
Farm (1995), Emma (1996) and The Golden Bowl (2000), in addition to
various stage and radio productions. She began to seek film work in the
United States in the late 1990s and, after appearing in small-scale
dramas The Last Days of Disco (1998) and Brokedown Palace (1999), she
had a breakout year in 2001 with starring roles in the war epic Pearl
Harbor and the romantic comedy Serendipity. She built on this success
with appearances in the bio-pic The Aviator (2004) and the comedy Click
(2006).
Beckinsale became known as an
action star following an appearance in 2003's Underworld and has since starred
in many action films, including Van Helsing (2004), Underworld: Evolution
(2006), Whiteout (2009), Contraband (2012), and Underworld: Awakening (2012).
She also makes occasional appearances in smaller dramatic projects such as Snow
Angels (2007), Winged Creatures (2008), Nothing but the Truth (for which she
earned a Critic's Choice Award nomination in 2008) and Everybody's Fine (2009).
Her next onscreen appearance will be in the sci-fi action remake Total Recall,
due for release in the summer of 2012.
Beckinsale is the only child of
actor Richard Beckinsale (1947–1979) and actress Judy Loe and was raised in
London. She had an eight-year relationship with Welsh actor Michael Sheen from
1995 until 2003; they have one daughter. She married American film director Len
Wiseman in 2004 and they live in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Publications such as
Esquire and People Magazine have repeatedly included Beckinsale in their annual
rankings of the world's sexiest and most beautiful women. She has worked
occasionally as a model in television and print campaigns to promote Gap denim,
Diet Coke, Absolut Vodka and Lux shampoo.

Early life
Kathrin Romary Beckinsale[1][2] was
born in London, England, the only child of actor Richard Beckinsale and actress
Judy Loe.[3] She has Burmese ancestry from her paternal great-grandfather.[4]
She made her first television appearance at the age of four, in an episode of
This is Your Life dedicated to her father.[5][6] When she was five years old,
her 31-year-old father died suddenly of a heart attack. Beckinsale was deeply
traumatised by the loss and 'started expecting bad things to happen'.[7] While
she has seen her father 'more on television than I have in life,' 'there are
certainly enough memories for me not to feel that it's somebody I didn't
know.'[3] Her widowed mother moved in with director Roy Battersby when
Beckinsale was nine and she was raised alongside his four sons and daughter.[8]
She has a close relationship with her step-father: 'I couldn't have knitted a
better one ... He wasn't pushy, he let me come to him.'[3] She has a paternal
half-sister, actress Samantha Beckinsale, but they have not had regular
contact.[3]
Beckinsale was educated at
Godolphin and Latymer School in West London[9] and was involved with the Orange
Tree Youth Theatre.[10] In her teens, she twice won the W. H. Smith Young
Writers' competition—once for short stories and once for poetry[11]—and was
presented with the prize by poet Ted Hughes.[12] She has described herself as 'a
late bloomer': 'All of my friends were kissing boys and drinking cider way
before me. I found it really depressing that we weren't making camp fires and
everyone was doing grown-up stuff.'[13] 'I loathed being a teenager.'[14] She
had a nervous breakdown and developed anorexia at the age of fifteen and
underwent Freudian psychoanalysis for four years.[3]
Beckinsale read French and Russian
literature at New College, Oxford University and was later described by a
contemporary, journalist Victoria Coren, as 'whip-clever, slightly nuts and very
charming'.[15] She was involved with the Oxford University Dramatic Society,
most notably being directed by fellow student Tom Hooper in a production of A
View from the Bridge at the Oxford Playhouse.[16] She spent her third year in
Paris as part of Oxford's study-abroad programme, after which she decided to
leave university to concentrate on her burgeoning acting career: 'It was getting
to the point where I wasn't enjoying either thing enough because both were very
high pressure. I was burning out and I knew I had to make a decision.'[3]
Acting career
Early roles (1991–1997)
Beckinsale decided at a young age
that she wanted to be an actress: 'I grew up immersed in film. My family were in
the business. I quickly realised that my parents seemed to have much more fun in
their work than any of my friends’ parents.'[17] She made her television debut
in 1991 with a small part in an ITV adaptation of P. D. James’ Devices and
Desires.[18] Also that year, she appeared as a young woman engaging in a
forbidden affair with a Nazi officer in the Hallmark film One Against The
Wind.[19] In 1992, she starred alongside Christopher Eccleston in Rachel’s
Dream, a 30-minute Channel 4 short,[20] and in 1993, she appeared in the pilot
of the ITV detective series, Anna Lee, starring Imogen Stubbs.[21]
In 1993, Beckinsale landed the role
of Hero in Kenneth Branagh's big-screen adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. It
was filmed in Tuscany, Italy during a summer holiday from Oxford University.[22]
She attended the film's Cannes Film Festival premiere and later remembered it as
an overwhelming experience. 'Nobody even told me I could bring a friend!'[13] 'I
had Doc Martens boots on, and I think I put the flower from the breakfast tray
in my hair'.[23] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone was won over by her 'lovely'
performance[24] while Vincent Canby of The New York Times noted that she and
Robert Sean Leonard 'look right and behave with a certain naive sincerity,
although they often seem numb with surprise at hearing the complex locutions
they speak.'[25] The film earned over $22 million at the box office.[26] She
filmed three other movies while at university. In 1994, she appeared as
Christian Bale's love interest in Prince of Jutland, a film based on the Danish
legend which inspired Shakespeare's Hamlet,[27] and starred in the murder
mystery Uncovered.[28] In 1995, while studying in Paris, she filmed the
French-language Marie-Louise Ou La Permission.[29]
Shortly after leaving Oxford
University in 1995, Beckinsale starred in Cold Comfort Farm as Flora Poste, a
newly orphaned 1930s socialite sent to live with distant family members in rural
England. The John Schlesinger-directed film was an adaptation of Stella
Gibbons's novel and also featured Joanna Lumley, Ian McKellen, Rufus Sewell and
Stephen Fry. Beckinsale was initially considered too young, but was cast after
she wrote a pleading letter to the director.[30] Emanuel Levy of Variety was
reminded of 'the strength of a young Glenda Jackson and the charm of a young
Julie Christie.[31] Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times classed the actress as
'yet another of those effortlessly skilled British beauties who light up the
screen.'[32] Janet Maslin of The New York Times felt she played the role 'with
the perfect snippy aplomb'.[33] The film grossed over $5 million at the US box
office.[34] Also in 1995, she appeared in Haunted, a ghost story in which Derek
Elley of Variety felt she 'holds the screen, with both physical looks and verbal
poise'.[35]
1995 also saw Beckinsale's first
professional stage appearance as Nina in The Seagull at Theatre Royal, Bath. She
became romantically involved with co-star Michael Sheen after meeting during
play rehearsals.[36] 'He was the young lion of the theatre'.[37] 'I was all
revved up to feel very intimidated. It was my first-ever play and my mother had
cut out reviews of him in previous productions. And then he walked in ... It was
almost like, 'God, well, I'm finished now. That's it, then.'... He's the most
outrageously talented person I've ever met.'[38] Irving Wardle of The
Independent felt that 'the casting, including Michael Sheen's volcanic Kostya
and Kate Beckinsale's steadily freezing Nina, is mainly spot-on.'[39] In early
1996, she starred in two further plays; Sweetheart at the Royal Court
Theatre[40] and Clocks and Whistles at The Bush Theatre.[41]
Beckinsale next starred in an ITV
adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma, playing Emma to Mark Strong's Mr Knightley and
Samantha Morton's Harriet Smith. 'You shouldn't necessarily like Emma,'
Beckinsale has said of her character. 'You do love her, but in the way the
family of a teenage girl could be exasperated by her outrageous behavior and
still love her.'[30] The programme was aired in autumn 1996, just months after
Gwyneth Paltrow had starred in a movie adaptation of the same story.[30] Caryn
James of The New York Times felt that, while 'Ms. Beckinsale's Emma is plainer
looking than Ms. Paltrow's', she is 'altogether more believable and
funnier.'[42] Jonathan Brown of The Independent has described Beckinsale's
interpretation as 'the most enduring modern performance' as Emma.[43]
In 1997, Beckinsale appeared
opposite Stuart Townsend in the comedy Shooting Fish, one of the most
commercially successful British films of that year.[44][45] 'I'd just had my
wisdom teeth out,' Beckinsale later recalled of the initial audition. 'I was
also on very strong painkillers, so it was not the most conventional of
meetings.'[46] Elley wrote of 'an incredibly laid-back performance'[47] while
Thomas felt she 'just glows as an aristocrat facing disaster with considerable
aplomb'.[48] She narrated Austen's Emma for Hodder & Stoughton AudioBooks[49]
and Diana Hendry's The Proposal for BBC Radio 4.[50] Also in 1997, she played
Juliet to Michael Sheen's Romeo in a radio production of Romeo and Juliet,
directed by Sheen.[51]
Move to Hollywood (1998–2002)
At this point in her career,
Beckinsale began to seek work in the United States, something she has said
wasn't 'a conscious decision ... My boyfriend was in a play on Broadway so
that's why we ended up in New York, and my auditions happened to be for American
movies'.[52] She starred opposite Chloe Sevigny in 1998's The Last Days of
Disco. The Whit Stillman film focused on a group of Ivy League graduates
socialising in the Manhattan disco scene of the early 1980s. Beckinsale's
attempt at an American accent was widely praised.[53][54][55] Kenneth Turan of
the Los Angeles Times felt her role as the bossy Charlotte was 'beautifully
played'.[56] Todd McCarthy of Variety was unimpressed by the film but noted that
'compensations include Beckinsale, looking incredible in a succession of black
dresses, whose character can get on your nerves even if the actress
doesn't.'[57] Her performance earned her a London Critics Circle Film Award.[58]
The film grossed $3 million worldwide.[59] Also that year, she starred as Alice
in a Channel 4 production of Through the Looking-Glass.[60]
In 1999, Beckinsale appeared
opposite Claire Danes in Brokedown Palace, a drama about two teenage Americans
forced to deal with the Thai justice system on a post-graduation trip abroad. A
then-23 year old Beckinsale played a teenager.[61] Danes had hoped to become
friends with Beckinsale during the shoot but found her 'complicated' and
'prickly'.[62] McCarthy said the leads 'confirm their status as two of the young
actresses on the scene today most worth watching', finding Beckinsale 'very
effective at getting across layered character traits and emotions.'[63] 'Danes
and Beckinsale are exceptionally talented young actresses', said Thomas, but
'unfortunately, the script's seriously underdeveloped context defeats their
considerable efforts at every turn.'[64] Stephen Holden of The New York Times
felt that Beckinsale's character 'never comes into focus'.[65] The film was a
box office failure.[66]
2000's The Golden Bowl marked
Beckinsale's first role following the birth of her daughter. The Merchant/ Ivory
production was based on the novel by Henry James and also starred Uma Thurman
and Jeremy Northam. Beckinsale's partner, Michael Sheen, hit Northam on the film
set after he followed Beckinsale to her trailer to scold her for forgetting a
line.[67] Holden noted that 'the most satisfying of the four lead performances
belong to the British cast members, Ms. Beckinsale and Mr. Northam, who are
better than their American counterparts at layers of emotional concealment',
adding that each beat of Beckinsale's performance 'registers precisely'.[68]
Thomas felt her performance would take her to 'a new career level'.[69] Andrew
Sarris of The New York Observer asserted that she 'comes close to capturing the
sublimity of Maggie, despite the obvious fact that no movie can capture the
elegant copiousness of James’ prose.'[70] The film grossed over $5 million
worldwide.[71]
Beckinsale rose to fame in 2001
with a leading role in the war epic Pearl Harbour as a nurse torn between two
pilots, played by Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett. She was drawn to the project by
the script: 'It's so unusual these days to read a script that has those
old-fashioned values to it. Not morals, but movie values. It's a big, sweeping
epic ...You just never get the chance to do that.'[72] Director Michael Bay
initially had doubts about casting the actress: 'I wasn't sure about her at
first ... she wore black leather trousers in her screen test and I thought she
was a little nasty ... it was easy to think of this woman as a slut'.[73] He
eventually decided to hire her because she wasn't 'too beautiful. Women feel
disturbed when they see someone’s too pretty.'[74] He asked her to lose weight
during filming.[75] In a 2004 interview, the actress noted that his comments
were 'upsetting'[76] and said she wore leather trousers because 'it was snowing
out. It wasn't exactly like I had my nipple rings in.'[77] She felt grateful
that she had not had to deal with such criticism at a younger age: 'If I had
come on to a movie set at [a younger] age and someone had said, 'You're a bit
funny-looking, can you go on a diet?' - I might have jumped off a building. I
just didn't have the confidence to put that into perspective at the time.'[73]
However, speaking in 2011, she said she was 'very fond' of Bay.[78]
Pearl Harbor received negative
reviews. Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly praised 'the avid eyed, ruby
lipped Kate Beckinsale, the rare actress whose intelligence gives her a sensual
bloom; she's like Parker Posey without irony.'[79] A. O. Scott of The New York
Times noted that 'Mr. Affleck and Ms. Beckinsale do what they can with their
lines, and glow with the satiny shine of real movie stars.'[80] However, Mike
Clark of USA Today felt that the 'usually appealing Kate Beckinsale' is
'inexplicably submerged — like her hospital colleagues — under heaps of tarty
makeup that even actresses of the era didn't wear.'[81] The film was a
commercial success, grossing $449 million worldwide.[82]
Beckinsale's second film appearance
of 2001 was in romantic comedy Serendipity as the love interest of John Cusack.
It was filmed directly after Pearl Harbour and Beckinsale found it 'a real
relief to return to something slightly more familiar.'[52] Turan praised the
'appealing and believable' leads, adding that Beckinsale 'reinforces the strong
impression she made in Cold Comfort Farm, The Golden Bowl and The Last Days of
Disco' after 'recovering nicely' from her appearance in the much-maligned Pearl
Harbor.[83] Claudia Puig of USA Today felt that 'Beckinsale's talents haven't
been mined as effectively in any other film since Cold Comfort Farm'.[84]
McCarthy found her 'energetic and appealing'[85] while Elvis Mitchell of The New
York Times described her as 'luminous but determined'.[86] In an uncomplimentary
review of the film, Ebert described her as 'a good actress, but not good enough
to play this dumb'.[87] The film has grossed over $77 million at the worldwide
box office.[88]
In 2002, Beckinsale starred in Lisa
Cholodenko's Laurel Canyon as a strait-laced academic who finds herself
increasingly attracted to her free-spirited future mother-in-law. The
independent film was another opportunity for Beckinsale to work with Christian
Bale, her Prince of Jutland co-star. She found their sex scene awkward because
she knew Bale well: If it was a stranger, it would have been easier.'[89] While
Frances MacDormand's performance as Bale's mother was widely praised, Beckinsale
received negative reviews. Holden found the film 'superbly acted, with the
exception of Ms. Beckinsale, whose tense, colourless Alex conveys no inner
life'.[90] Schwarzbaum was unimpressed by the 'tedious' characters and
criticised 'the fussy performances of Bale and Beckinsale' in particular.[91]
The film has grossed over $4 million worldwide.[92]
Action heroine roles (2003–2006)
Beckinsale became known as an
action star following an appearance as a vampire in 2003's Underworld. It was
markedly different from her previous work and Beckinsale has said she was
grateful for the change of pace after appearing in 'a bunch of period stuff and
then a bunch of romantic comedies.'[93] 'It was quite a challenge for me to play
an action heroine and pull off all that training when [in real life] I can’t
catch a ball if it’s coming my way.'[94] The film received negative to mixed
reviews but was a surprise box office hit and has gained a cult following.[95]
Also that year, she starred in the little-seen Tiptoes with Gary Oldman and
Matthew McConaughey.[96]
In 2004, Beckinsale starred in the
action horror film Van Helsing. She was 'so surprised' to be appearing in her
second action film in two years. 'It just seemed like a very good role.'[97]
Beckinsale had just separated from her long-term partner Michael Sheen at the
time of filming and appreciated the warm atmosphere created on set by director
Stephen Sommers and co-star Hugh Jackman: 'I really did find that working with
people like Stephen and Hugh made it possible to get through what I was going
through.'[98] The film grossed over $120 million at the United States box office
and over $300 million worldwide, but it was not well-reviewed.[99][100] Mick
LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle described her as 'a pretty actress doing
her best to maintain dignity, vainly trying to craft a feminist statement from a
filmmaker's whimsy'[101] while Rex Reed of The New York Observer felt she was
'desperately in need of a new agent'.[102]
Also in 2004, Beckinsale portrayed
Ava Gardner in Martin Scorsese's Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator. Scorsese
decided to cast Beckinsale because, 'I’ve always liked her. I’ve seen all her
work, and I was glad that she agreed to audition.'[103] Beckinsale's performance
received mixed reviews. Ken Tucker of New York Magazine said she played the part
'in full va-va-voom blossom'[104] while LaSalle felt that she manages 'to
convince us that Ava was one of the great broads of all time.'[105] However,
Clark described it as 'the one performance that doesn't come off (though
Beckinsale has the requisite beauty)'[106] while Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian
stated that 'Gardner's rich, voluptuous sexiness is completely absent as
Beckinsale sleepwalks through the role as if she was advertising perfume.'[107]
The film grossed over $213 million worldwide.[108]
In 2006, Beckinsale reprised her
role as Selene in the successful vampire sequel Underworld: Evolution, directed
by her husband.[109] It was the first time she had 'been involved with a movie
from the moment it’s a germ of an idea right through the whole editing
process.'[110] Her daughter had a small role as the younger Selene.[110] The
film was a box office success, grossing $111 million worldwide.[111]
Beckinsale's second film appearance
of 2006 was opposite Adam Sandler in Click, a comedy about an overworked family
man who discovers a magical remote control that allows him to control time. The
opportunity to play a mother 'was one of the things that was attractive to me'
about the part.[112] The film was also a chance to work with Christopher
Walken.[113] The film was highly profitable, grossing $237 million worldwide
from a production budget of $82.5 million.[114]
Focus on small-scale drama (2007–2011)
Beckinsale then made a return to
smaller-scale projects: 'My experience is that I sort of stepped away from the
independent movies and did a couple of big movies. But that's not necessarily
how it's perceived by everybody else, which I do understand.'[115] 'I enjoy an
action movie as much as the next person [but] it’s not something that I would
like to do solely.'[116] She explained that she had originally decided to appear
in Underworld because she felt typecast in classical roles - it was 'assumed
that I use a chamber pot and wear bloomers'[117] - but that her action career
'kind of took off a little too much'.[118]
In 2007, Beckinsale starred
opposite Sam Rockwell in the independent drama Snow Angels, based on the novel
by Stewart O'Nan. The harrowing film, in which she played an overwhelmed single
mother, put Beckinsale 'in kind of a tough place'. 'I did have my kid, my
husband and, in fact, my ex was around a lot, so it was very nice to come home
to my people whom I love.'[116] Puig felt 'Beckinsale gives her best performance
in years'[119] while Richard Corliss of Time described it as 'her sharpest work
yet'.[120] However, Scott felt that 'her skill and discipline cannot overcome
the sense that she is an exotic species transplanted into this grim ecosystem.
Hard as she works to convince us otherwise, it’s a stretch to believe that a
woman with the kind of poised confidence in her own beauty she manifests would
wind up with an underachieving mouth breather like Glenn.'[121] The film grossed
just $414,404 worldwide.[122]
Also in 2007, Beckinsale appeared
alongside Luke Wilson in Vacancy, a thriller set in an isolated motel. Sarah
Jessica Parker was originally cast in the part, but dropped out before filming
began.[123] Bradshaw felt that 'Wilson and Beckinsale have the chops for scary
movies'[124] while Gleiberman noted that 'Luke Wilson, with his hangdog
defensive mopiness, and Kate Beckinsale, all sexy severity, are ideally matched
as a couple who hate each other.'[125] However, Manohla Dargis of The New York
Times was unimpressed, referring to Beckinsale as 'the reigning queen of the
bland B's'.[126] The film was profitable, grossing $35 million worldwide from a
production budget of $19 million.[127]
In 2008, Beckinsale appeared in
Winged Creatures, a film about how six different witnesses cope with the
aftermath of a shooting. Beckinsale played a waitressing single mother in an
ensemble cast that included Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Hudson and Forest Whitaker.
'It was a really, really nice experience but it was quick,' said Beckinsale of
the filming process. 'I just felt a bit like I was shot through a cannon.'[116]
Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times felt she played the role 'with a
white-trash verve' and found that her character's 'raw ache for that someone
with money and respectability is palpable.'[128] However, Dargis felt that
Beckinsale and her cast mates have 'a tough time filling out characters that are
at best abstractions of grief and often just clichés'.[129] The film received a
very limited theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles only. It was
released simultaneously on DVD.[130]
Also in 2008, Beckinsale starred in
Nothing but the Truth as a journalist who refuses to reveal her source. The
film, co-starring Vera Farmiga and Matt Dillon, was inspired by the case of
Judith Miller. As part of her research for the role, 'I spent some time at The
L.A. Times with some female reporters, and I spoke to Judith Miller about her
experience ... I really researched the hell out of that one and it was an
amazingly fulfilling, brilliant experience.'[116] Ann Hornaday of The Washington
Post asserted that Beckinsale and Farmiga played 'two of the most fascinating
female movie characters to hit screens in a long while, and they've been brought
to life by two gifted actresses, each working at the top of her game'.[131]
Beckinsale received a Critic's Choice Award nomination for her performance.[132]
The film never received a full theatrical release after the distributor filed
for bankruptcy[133] and the film has grossed just $186,702 worldwide.[134] 'I
have prayed - prayed - for film companies to go bankrupt on films I've made, and
then this happens on the one I love,' said Beckinsale. 'Usually it's the ones
you're most embarrassed about that are on the side of every bus.'[135]
In 2009, Beckinsale starred in the
comic-book adaption Whiteout as a US Marshal tasked with investigating a murder
in Antarctica. It was filmed in Manitoba, Canada which she described as 'a
beautiful place.'[118] She found the action scenes less physically demanding
than those in Underworld because 'three pairs of trousers and a parka gives you
a bit more protection than the latex suit.'[118] The film was critically panned
and a box office failure, failing to recoup its budget.[136] She also made a
brief cameo in the prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans; she appeared in
flashforwards composed of footage from 2003's Underworld.[137]
Also in 2009, Beckinsale starred in
the family drama Everybody's Fine alongside Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore and
Rockwell, her Snow Angels co-star. Beckinsale was excited for the opportunity to
work with De Niro whom she had first encountered 'years and years ago when I
just had Lily and he was putting together a reading of The Good Shepherd. I was
in New York because Michael [Sheen] was doing Amadeus.[115] Everybody's Fine was
a box office failure, failing to recoup its production budget.[138]
In May 2010, Beckinsale sat on the
nine-member 2010 Cannes Film Festival jury, chaired by director Tim Burton.[139]
Unable to find a script she felt passionate about, Beckinsale otherwise kept a
low profile in 2010 and 2011, opting to spend time with her daughter.[140]
Return to action films (2012)
Beckinsale returned to work in 2012
with three onscreen appearances. Beckinsale first appeared in the action
thriller Contraband. She had a supporting role as the wife of Mark Wahlberg's
character, a former criminal who gets forced back into a life of crime after his
family are threatened. The film was directed by Baltasar Kormákur, who starred
in the Icelandic-language version of the film Reykjavík-Rotterdam.[141] The San
Francisco Chronicle felt Beckinsale was 'stuck in a bit of a thankless role as
the victimized wife, but she does try to infuse a harder edge to the
character'.[142] The Hollywood Reporter stated that 'Beckinsale, her innate
classiness calibrated down a few notches, has little to do but be supportive,
worried and, eventually, besieged'.[143] Entertainment Weekly felt that the
'woman-in-peril stuff is second-rate, giving off a whiff of exploitation'[144]
while Variety found the repeated violence towards Beckinsale's character
disturbing.[145] The film had a production budget of $25 million and has grossed
over $68 million worldwide.[146]
Beckinsale next reprised her role
as Selene in the fourth installment of the vampire franchise Underworld:
Awakening.[137] The franchise was initially conceived as a trilogy and
Beckinsale was not 'intending to do another one' but was convinced by the
quality of the script.[147] The Hollywood Reporter noted that 'when she’s not
actually fighting, her performance consists of little more than striding
purposefully toward or away from the camera'.[148] The Los Angeles Times
remarked that she 'finally manages to perfect the monotone delivery she'd been
honing for the series' first two entries'.[149] The film had a production budget
of $70 million and has grossed over $108 million worldwide.[150] With
adjustments for inflation, Underworld:Awakening is the lowest-grossing
Beckinsale-led film in the franchise.[151]
Her final appearance of 2012 will
be in a remake of the sci-fi action film Total Recall, directed by her husband
and co-starring Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel. Beckinsale will star as Lori,
the villain played by Sharon Stone in the original film.[152]
Modelling work
In addition to acting, Beckinsale
has also worked occasionally as a model. In 1997, she appeared in the music
video for George Michael's Waltz Away Dreaming.[58] She starred opposite Orlando
Bloom in a 2002 Gap television advert, directed by Cameron Crowe.[153] She
appeared in a Diet Coke television advert in 2004, directed by Michael
Gondry.[154][155] She advertised Absolut Vodka in a 2009 print campaign
photographed by Ellen von Unwerth.[156][157] She has also promoted Lux shampoo
in an Asian television advert.[158]
Beckinsale was named 'England's
Number One Beauty' by Hello! in 2002[159] and appeared at number 41 in People
Magazine's 100 Most Beautiful People list in 2008.[160] Many publications have
included her in their rankings of the world's sexiest women. Esquire named her
the Sexiest Woman Alive in 2009.[161] She was at number 22 in Maxim's Hot 100
2009 list.[162] She came in at number 41 on FHM's Sexiest Women of 2010
list,[163] having previously appeared at number 15 in their 2009 list[164] and
at number 12 in their 2008 list.[165] She has frequently appeared in
AskMen.com's annual list of the 99 Most Desired Women: she was at number 14 in
2011,[166] at number 3 in 2010,[167] at number 10 in 2009[167] and at number 3
in 2008.[168]
Personal life
Relationships
Beckinsale had an eight-year
relationship with actor Michael Sheen from 1995 until 2003. They met when cast
in a touring production of The Seagull in early 1995 and moved in together
shortly afterwards.[169] She has said it was 'love at first sight'[170] and that
he saved her from 'a hospital for the criminally insane'.[171] In 1997, they
appeared in a radio production of Romeo and Juliet.[51] Their daughter, Lily Mo
Sheen, was born in London in 1999. The actress has said she was 'embarrassed'
that Sheen never proposed[38][172] but remarked, 'If you keep a library book out
long enough, you feel it's yours.'[173]
Their relationship ended in early
2003, after the filming of Underworld.[174] Beckinsale had persuaded director
Len Wiseman to cast Sheen in the film[175] but, while on set, she and Wiseman
(who was married) fell in love. All parties have maintained there was no
infidelity[175] and Beckinsale and Wiseman both remain friends with Sheen.[176]
'We were very lucky in that we didn't have an acrimonious split,' Beckinsale has
said. 'We are still very close and [our daughter] sees us around each
other.'[177] 'I love him dearly – I would miss him dreadfully if he wasn't in my
life.'[178]
Beckinsale moved with her daughter
from London to Brentwood, Los Angeles in 2003 to live with Wiseman. She has said
she is 'a fish out of water' in Los Angeles[179] but that residing in London
would be impractical for Wiseman's career.[171] They married in 2004 at the
Hotel Bel-Air in California,[180] choosing a passage from Philip Pullman's The
Amber Spyglass as their first reading.[181] While she is not religious, she has
said it was 'very nice to be asked [to get married], which I wasn't in my
previous relationship'.[182] Since their marriage, Wiseman has directed her in
two further films: an Underworld sequel and Total Recall. She has no plans for
more children: 'Maybe I will at some point but I feel I have everything I want.
Lily is the perfect child ... I am my mum and dad’s only child so I don’t really
have the mindset for more children.'[183]
Legal actions
In July 2003, the Press Complaints
Commission dismissed a complaint filed by Beckinsale. Beckinsale had claimed
that the Daily Mail invaded her and her daughter's privacy by publishing
photographs of the actress embracing and kissing her new partner Len
Wiseman.[184] The article was headlined 'Mummy's latest love scene leaves Lily
unimpressed' and included a picture in which her four-year-old daughter appeared
to be ignoring her mother's romantic actions.[184] The Commission found that
'the photographs had been taken in a public place and did not reveal any private
details about Lily - such as her health or schooling - but were restricted to
general observations about her apparent reaction to her surroundings'.[184]
In August 2003, Beckinsale received
an published apology from the Daily Mail after the newspaper reported that she
had 'spent time in a clinic' following her split from partner Michael
Sheen.[185] The apology was issued after the actress filed a complaint with the
Press Complaints Commission.[185]
In 2009, Beckinsale was awarded
£20,000 in damages by the British High Court after taking legal action against
Express Newspapers.[186] The Daily Express had falsely reported that the actress
was 'facing heartbreak' after losing out on a part in a remake of Barbarella.[186]
Health
Beckinsale underwent emergency
surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to remove a burst appendix in 2004.[187]
In 2007, she was treated for exhaustion at a Memphis hospital after experiencing
numbness in her left arm and leg.[188]
Beckinsale does not drink alcohol,
'not because I’m an alcoholic, I just don’t really like it': 'If I drank a whole
glass of red wine I would have Chekhovian despair the next day.'[189][190] She
has smoked since the age of sixteen,[191] but stopped for three years after
becoming pregnant with her daughter.[192] She has since said, 'I’d be
insufferable if I didn’t smoke. You’d have to push me off a balcony I’d be so
boring.”[193]
Charity work
The British Heart Foundation has
been Beckinsale's charity of choice 'ever since I was six years old'.[194] She
has also donated film memorabilia to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research
Foundation,[195][196] MediCinema,[197] Habitat For Humanity[198] and the
Entertainment Industry Foundation.[199] In 2008, she hosted the 4th Annual Pink
Party to raise funds for the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center[200] and organised a screening of All About Eve for FilmAid
International.[201]
