Actress Kate Beckinsale began her career acting in smaller films such as One Against the Wind, Ema, and others. Most who have followed the actress’s career would probably know that she really came into the scene with her role in the Michael Bay romantic war drama, Pearl Harbor. Two years later, she managed to snag her own action franchise with the first installment of Underworld, where she played a vampire death dealer named Selene. Despite fighting Lycans in the films, Beckinsale’s character has remained beautiful and confident. The actress showed those traits again in a recent photo of herself in a sexy bright green bikini on Instagram. While it’s a far cry from how she looks in the Underworld franchise, it does once again show her beauty and strength. You can see the photo below:
Kate Beckinsale appears to be enjoying the final days of summer as she soaks in the sun. The silver jewelry on her wrist and neck provides a nice contrast to the green bikini. She not only looks confident and beautiful but expresses a sense of being regal. Beckinsale appears quite comfortable in front of a camera. The actress occasionally worked as a model and has appeared in an advertisement for the Absolut Vodka print campaign photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth.
When she’s not battling Lycans, Kate Beckinsale does a lot of charity work. She donated film memorabilia to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation. Since her father died of a heart attack, the actress has been heavily involved in the British Heart Foundation. Beckinsale is also a strong advocate for raising literacy awareness, having joined Nestle’s Share the Joy Reading Program in 2012. As one of the few female action stars in the industry, Beckinsale gets a lot of credit for proving that women can carry their own film franchise rather than just playing second fiddle to men. Her work in the Underworld franchise is one of the first times a female heroine has been promoted heavily in Hollywood.
While the franchise itself isn’t highly regarded by critics, it did make a decent amount of money at the box office and helped legitimize Kate Beckinsale’s status in the film industry. The first film made nearly $100 million worldwide on a $22 million budget. When compared to the budgets of today’s big action films that sometimes end up in the $100 million range, the Underworld films managed to keep the budget reasonably small. The highest grossing installment was Underworld: Awakening, which grossed $160 million at the box office on a $70 million budget. None of the films scored a positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with all of them ending up below 35%. Still, it’s a franchise that’s beloved by many filmgoers and is the franchise that Beckinsale is most known for.
Whether dressed in a sexy green bikini or battling Lycans in a sleek black outfit, Kate Beckinsale has always made an impression. She’ll next be seen in an untitled comedy directed by Charlie Day. While the 49-year-old’s days as an action heroine may be done, she will always be considered one of the first female stars to carry her own franchise. Now entering the next phase of her career, it’ll be interesting to see what other projects the actress chooses and if she’ll be willing to join another film franchise in the future.
