She has a half-sister whom is also an actress; they only met briefly when Kate was very young and didn't cross paths again until 1995.

She had anorexia that left her eyesight damaged to the extent that Beckinsale must now wear glasses.

One of her famous quotes is "If someone had told me years ago that sharing a sense of humour was so vital to partnerships, I could have avoided a lot of sex!"
