Kate Beckinsale hot sexy snaps of the girl from VAN HELSING...

Born in London, Beckinsale was the daughter of actors Judy Loe and Richard Beckinsale, who died from heart attack in 1979. Her first major American film was Brokedown Palace (1999). Soon after, Beckinsale was cast in the 2001 film Pearl Harbor as the female lead. The film 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.
