Underworld lead star Kate Beckinsale is surely one hot sexy celebrity every man of today desires. She has never ceased to amaze people with her ass-kicking style and gorgeous curves. She even reprised her role as a vampire in the movie sequel Underworld: Evolution.
Born in Finsbury Park, London, this hot and sexy British actress is the daughter of actor Richard Beckinsale and actress Judy Loe. Kate followed in the footsteps of her parents and began her acting career, with her first role in One Against the Wind, a television film about World War II that was first aired in 1991.
Hot and sexy Kate was offered a part in Kenneth Branagh's big-screen film, Much Ado About Nothing, adapted from the Shakespeare play and also had a supporting role in Prince of Jutland, Haunted, and in the 1996 tv film adaptation of Jane Austen's Emma. She subsequently appeared in a few low-profile movies, television films, and in stage roles.
Her first major American film, Brokedown Palace (1999), was not a commercial success. But her biggest breakthrough came when she was cast in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor as the female lead. The film was a box office success. This was followed by Serendipity (2001), Underworld (2003), and Van Helsing (2004). In 2005, she portrayed Ava Gardner in Martin Scorsese's The Aviator. In 2006, she appeared in the comedy Click and in the suspense-thriller film Vacancy, released in 2007.
