Daughter of comedians, actor Richard Beckinsale and actress Judy Loe, Kate Beckinsale was born on July 26, 1973, in London, England. Her father, notably known on the small screen, succumbed to a heart attack when Kate was only five years old. A brilliant and rebellious teenager at the same time, she dreamed very young of becoming an actress.
She nevertheless joined the University of Oxford in 1991 to ensure an academic background, without however graduating. She got her first film role two years later in Kenneth Branagh's "Much Ado About Nothing", starring Denzel Washington and Emma Thomson. It was really revealed to the general public in 2001 with the sentimental-historical drama “Pearl Harbor”. The film, whose success is enormous, brings in 449 million worldwide receipts.
Heroine of the “Underworld” saga, she shares the life of Michael Sheen – who we find in the film – for eight years. They have a daughter, Lily Sheen, born in 1999. It is also on these sets that the actress meets Len Wiseman, director of the first two parts of the fantastic film. The couple married in 2004 in California. In October 2016, Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman announced their separation after twelve years of marriage.
