Kate was born July 26, 1973, in London, England, and she is
the daughter of the famous British actress Judy Loe and actor Richard Beckinsale.
Kate has finally come to be regarded as a fine actress and personality in her
own right as opposed to the daughter of a famous father. Kate is smart, well read
and occasionally outspoken much like her screen heroines Geena Davis and Katherine
Hepburn. Kate took her time to emerge from the shadows, when her much loved
father Richard Beckinsale suddenly and unexpectedly passed away, leaving her to
be raised by her mother, the actress Judy Loe. |
Attending
public school at Godolphin and Latymer, she was a bright student, tomboyish and
encouraged to be foul-mouthed by a working-class Londoner friend who found it
hilarious to hear a posh girl swear. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has said
of her, "She has such subtlety and style, she can switch to humor from high
drama in a split second". John Schlesinger, the legendary director, say's,
"She reminds me of Meg Ryan some years back". She has the same combination
of freshness and intelligence as the young Julie Christie". |
