Legs Kathryn Bailey "Kate" Beckinsale (born 26 July 1973) is an English actress

Kate is one of those rare hybrids of beauty and brains. She studied at Oxford University before leaving to pursue her acting career. She starred in a few low budget British films, such as [[Hub:Shooting Fish|Shooting Fish]] and [[Hub:The Last Days of Disco|The Last Days of Disco]], before she headed to America. Her first American film was [[Hub:Brokedown Palace|Brokedown Palace]] (1999), which was not a big success to say the least. But the film did catch the eye of action guru director [[Dude:Michael Bay|Michael Bay]] who cast Kate in [[Hub:Pearl Harbor|Pearl Harbor]] (2001), with Jennifer Garner, after Charlize Theron turned down the part. After Pearl Harbor, Kate starred in the movies[[Hub:Serendipity|Serendipity]] (2001), [[Hub:Underworld|Underworld]], and [[Hub:Van Helsing|Van Helsing]], with fellow hotties Silvia Colloca and Josie Maran, none of which were critically acclaimed, not that any of us cared. We fell in love with her when the Underworld movies were released — who isn’t turned on by a sexy vampire who kills werewolves? Well, apparently critics, but what do they know.

Her next role was as Ava Gardner in [[Hub:The Aviator|The Aviator]] (2005) with Kelli Garner andGwen Stefani — Kate gained twenty pounds for the role. We know, we aren’t thrilled about that either, but you have to give the girl credit for being dedicated to the acting craft. 

Kate is married to director [[Dude:Len Wiseman|Len Wiseman]] and recently starred in [[Hub:Snow Angels|Snow Angels]] alongside Olivia Thirlby. She also starred in the movie [[Hub:Whiteout|Whiteout]](September 2009).

She is the sister of actress Samantha Beckinsale.

If there are any men who don't find Kate Beckinsale attractive, we have yet to meet them. The Sexiest Woman of 2009 according toEsquire and a regular on AskMen.com's Top 99 Women lists -- she was No. 3 in 2010 and made regular appearances in 2009 and 2008 -- this British bombshell is the dream date for many men and the envy of many other women. Her long, flowing dark hair is complemented by striking hazel eyes and full lips, and her figure is a mix of legs you could get lost in and very athletic curves. Clearly, Ms. Beckinsale realizes she is something special and isn't afraid to tease audiences with near-revealing shower scenes (Whiteout) and tight-fitting garments (the Underworld movies). So what does this near-perfect woman think she's missing? Well, her ideal body-switch partner is apparently Queen Latifah, because the crowned one has the bust that Kate Beckinsale believes she's missing. Somehow we've been too busy noticing how much is right about her than to spot any problem areas.

On the dating front, Kate Beckinsale was previously linked to actor Edmund Moriarty before famously coupling up with another actor,Michael Sheen, from 1995 until 2003. Their relationship ended when -- wouldn't you know it -- she left him for filmmaker Len Wiseman, who had been busy directing the couple on the set ofUnderworld. Now married, Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman are solid as a rock with a daughter and incredibly, Michael Sheen can talk to and work with both of them without sobbing.

Tennis star Maria Sharapova appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman looking quite the style maven in her black-and-white ensemble and to-die-for YSL sandals. I don't normally look to sports figures for inspiration, but I have to give credit where credit is due . . . and Maria's black tulip skirt spurred a hunt to find something equally sexy but not equally pricey.
