Kate
Beckinsale Turns Her Back on Sexy Roles
3/27/08
British actress Kate Beckinsale has vowed not to take any more
glamorous movie roles - declaring her time as a "sex-bomb" is
over.
The 34-year-old star began her acting career in Kenneth Branagh's 1993
version of Much Ado About Nothing but graduated to action-packed
adventures including Underworld and Van Helsing.
But Beckinsale is now determined to turn her career around and prove
herself as a serious actress.
She says, "The sex-bomb thing is totally fun but you want to take
the red shoes off sometimes. I've been wanting to do something more
dramatic.
"I don't regret any of my movies but I do have a certain
embarrassment about one or two of them."
