Starting her career in the 1990s playing ingénues in British art films and period pieces, actress Kate Beckinsale made the transition to mainstream flicks in 2003 as the lead protagonist character Selene in the horror/action drama “Underworld.” This was the first of a six-installment franchise that eventually petered out in 2016.
