Kate Beckinsale's Wasted Talent 9/15/08

Actress Kate Beckinsale fears her years studying at a British university have been wasted now she has become a Hollywood star.

The 35-year-old studied Russian at England's elite Oxford University so she could read her favorite books in their original language.

But Beckinsale is disappointed her studies have not been useful in her rise to stardom.

She says, "Now I only speak Russian with the woman who does my bikini wax. See what Hollywood does to you."
