Kate Beckinsale

Kathryn Bailey "Kate" Beckinsale (born July 26, 1973) is an English actress, known for her roles in the films Pearl Harbor (2001), Van Helsing (2004), and Underworld (2003).

Kate Beckinsale's first major American film, Brokedown Palace (1999), was not a commercial success. Soon after, Kate Beckinsale was cast in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor as the female lead, after actress Charlize Theron turned down the part. The film was one of the highest grossing films of its year. In the years following, Kate Beckinsale 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, Kate Beckinsale appeared as Ava Gardner in The Aviator, a role for which she gained 20 pounds.

In January 2006, Kate 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 number 1 spot at the box office, grossing over $26 million in its first weekend of release.

Also in 2006, Kate Beckinsale appeared in the Adam Sandler starring comedy-drama, Click, which opened on June 23. Next, Kate Beckinsale replaced Sarah Jessica Parker in the film Vacancy, released in 2007. Kate Beckinsale's next role will be in Snow Angels, which is in post-production and scheduled for release sometimes in 2008.
