July 24, 2008: "Kate Beckinsale Does California Style Magazine"
Classic beauty Kate Beckinsale looks nothing short of bangin’ in the August issue of California Style magazine. Inside the issue, the British actress admits she was “frightened” about moving to America - because she was convinced she would be forced to undergo a full body makeover. Says Kate, “I was very frightened of L.A. at first. I thought the first thing that would happen is they are going to file my teeth down, inflate my bosom and just be mean to me - and that’s sort of what has happened.” So how paranoid is she? Kate had demanded a body double for her latest film Whiteout because she felt self-conscious about her bottom’s size. The slim 34-year-old star refused to bare her derriere while shooting a shower scene in the movie, which forced the film’s producers to hire a $2000 a-day model to stand in for her. *** July 16, 2008: "Kate Beckinsale Terrified Of Move To Los Angeles" Kate Beckinsale was terrified about moving to Los Angeles. The 34-year-old actress, who left the UK six years ago, feared her typically English rose looks would hamper her chances of making it in Hollywood and she would be forced to have a boob job. She said: "I was very frightened of Los Angeles at first." "I thought the first thing that would happen is they are going to file my teeth down, inflate my bosom and just be mean to me - and that's sort of what has happened." Kate, who is married to director Len Wiseman and has a nine-year-old daughter Lily from a previous relationship, admits she is surprised by how happy she is living in the U.S. The "Underworld" star added: "I would never have envisaged myself marrying an American, living in America and sending my child to an American school." *** June 16, 2008: "Kate Beckinsale Looking For A "Backside" Double" Kate Beckinsale wants a butt double for her new movie.

She thinks she is fat and she is always complaining how certain outfits make her bottom look big. Of course, the reality is that she has the most amazing body." Producers on the set of 'Whiteout' have been forced to pay a nude stand-in a staggering $2,000-a-day to ensure Kate Beckinsale does not pull out of the film.

Birth name: Kathryn Bailey Beckinsale. Born: July 26, 1973 London, England, UK. Height: 5' 8" (1.73 m). Spouse(s): -Len Wiseman (9 May 2004 - present). Kate Beckinsale biography (bio): Beckinsale was born Kathryn Bailey Beckinsale in London to Judy Loe, a stage and television actress, and Richard Beckinsale, a well-known television actor who died in 1979 at the age of 31. She has a paternal half-sister, Samantha, who is also an actress. Beckinsale's paternal great-grandfather was Burmese, and Beckinsale claims that she was "very oriental-looking" as a child. Beckinsale attended the private Godolphin and Latymer School, and in her teens 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 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 and Russian literature at New College, Oxford University, though she did not finish her degree. She thought that having an academic background studying foreign language and literature would broaden her range of acting roles. During her first year at Oxford, Beckinsale was offered a part in Kenneth Branagh's big-screen film, Much Ado About Nothing, adapted from the Shakespeare play. She spent her last year of studies in Paris, after which she decided to quit the university and concentrate on her acting career. She subsequently appeared in a few low-profile films, including Shooting Fish and The Last Days of Disco (both in 1998). During this time, Beckinsale also appeared in television films and in stage roles, including the well-received Cold Comfort Farm, opposite British silver and small screen notables Rufus Sewell, Eileen Atkins, and Joanna Lumley. Her first major American film, Brokedown Palace (1999), was not a commercial success. Soon after, Beckinsale was cast in the 2001 film, Pearl Harbor, which was one of the highest grossing films of its year. In the years following, she appeared in a series of American films that were high-profile, but were given a somewhat poor critical reception, including Serendipity (2001), Underworld (2003) and Van Helsing (2004). Notably, she appeared as Ava Gardner in The Aviator, a role for which she gained 20 pounds. In 2006, Beckinsale was placed at #78 in FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World", after being #71 in 2005. She has also been placed at #16 in Maxim's "HOT 100" (2003), #63 in Stuff's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" (2002), and was chosen by the English magazine Hello! as "England’s #1 Beauty", also in 2002. In January 2006, Beckinsale reprised her role as a vampire in the movie Underworld: Evolution, a sequel to her 2003 film, Underworld, again directed by her husband, Len Wiseman. The film opened at the #1 spot at the box office, grossing over $26 million in its first weekend of release. On January 24, 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. Beckinsale's most recent role was in the Adam Sandler starring comedy-drama, Click, which opened on June 23, 2006. Her next film will be Snow Angels, which is currently in post-production and will be released in 2007. A September 2006 article in the Hollywood Reporter announced that Beckinsale has signed on to replace Sarah Jessica Parker in the film Vacancy. Beckinsale and Michael Sheen have a daughter, Lily Mo Sheen (born 31 January 1999). Sheen would later star with her in Underworld. She reported in interviews that during her pregnancy with Lily was the only time she's ever stopped smoking. In June 2003, Beckinsale became engaged to the director of Underworld, Len Wiseman, and the two were married on 9 May 2004 in Bel-Air, California. Notable roles: -Nurse Lt. Evelyn Johnson in Pearl Harbor. -Selene in Underworld and Underworld: Evolution. -Anna Valerious in Van Helsing. -Donna Newman in Click. |
