Kathrin Romary Beckinsale was born in London, England. She is the only
child of actor Richard Beckinsale and actress Judy Loe. Her father was
of one-quarter Burmese descent. She made her first television appearance
at the age of four, in an episode of This is Your Life dedicated to her
father. When she was five years old, her 31-year-old father died
suddenly of a heart attack. Beckinsale was deeply traumatised by the
loss and “started expecting bad things to happen”. While she has seen
her father “more on television than I have in life”, “there are
certainly enough memories for me not to feel that it’s somebody I didn’t
know.” Her widowed mother moved in with director Roy Battersby when
Beckinsale was nine and she was brought up alongside his four sons and
daughter She has a close relationship with her step-father: “I couldn’t
have knitted a better one … He wasn’t pushy, he let me come to him.” She
has a paternal half-sister, actress Samantha Beckinsale, but they have
not had regular contact. Beckinsale was educated at the fee-paying
Godolphin and Latymer School in Hammersmith, West London and was
involved with the Orange Tree Youth Theatre. She was a two-time winner
of the WH Smith Young Writers Award for both fiction and poetry. She has
described herself as a “late bloomer”: “All of my friends were kissing
boys and drinking cider way before me. I found it really depressing that
we weren’t making camp fires and everyone was doing grown-up stuff.” “I
loathed being a teenager.” She had a nervous breakdown and developed
anorexia at the age of 15 and underwent Freudian psychoanalysis for four
years.
