British Actress Beckinsale to Wed Film Director
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – British actress Kate Beckinsale, who starred in the recent Hollywood epic “Pearl Harbor,” has become engaged to marry the director of her latest film, a spokeswoman for the actress said on Monday.
The spokeswoman did not offer any details about the engagement of the London-born beauty to Len Wiseman, the director of “Underworld” in which Beckinsale portrays a vampire.
Celebrity television show “Access Hollywood,” said Wiseman popped the question on Saturday at a restaurant at the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California. “Access Hollywood” quoted at the hotel as saying that Wiseman booked the Viceroy’s presidential suite and filled it with the actress’s favorite flowers, lilies, to celebrate.
Beckinsale has a 4-year-old daughter named Lily with her former boyfriend, actor Michael Sheen.
The actress, 29, is the daughter of the late British comic Richard Beckinsale and actress Judy Loe.
She made her screen debut in 1993 in Kenneth Branagh’s “Much Ado About Nothing” and has since appeared in such films as “The Last Days of Disco” and “Laurel Canyon.” In “Pearl Harbor,” she played a U.S. Navy nurse whose love for two U.S. Army pilots breaks up their long friendship.
