Daughter of famous British comedy actor Richard Beckinsale,
it seemed highly unlikely acting wouldn't continue in the family, although Kate had a promising future as a writer.
Her career began on the telly before her big break in Kenneth Branagh's
Much Ado About Nothing. Sorrowfully underutilized as a siren, Kate shows she
has the potential to be sexy. She's even a smoker and could hold a cigarette like any old fashion screen legend.
