Kathrin Romany Beckinsale was born in London’s Chiswick district on July 26, 1973. She is the only child of actors Richard Beckinsale and Judy Loe, however, she has a half-sister by the name of Samantha Beckinsale from her father’s first marriage.
However, Kathrin and Samantha don’t communicate often. Richard Beckinsale, Kathrin’s father, was of Burmese ancestry. In 1977, Kathrin’s parents got married after she had already started kindergarten. At the age of four, she made her first appearance on television in a “This Is Your Life” segment honoring her father.
Tragically, Kathrin’s father unexpectedly passed away at age 31 from a heart attack when she was just five years old. This tragedy left her with significant trauma and a sense that terrible things were going to happen to her.
After her father passed away, Kathrin’s widowed mother Judy Loe moved in with the director Roy Battersby. Kathrin, who was nine years old at the time, grew up alongside Roy’s daughter and four sons. Despite the challenges, Kathrin and her stepfather, who joined the Workers Revolutionary Party when she was a child, developed a close relationship.
When she was a little kid, she even helped in the sale of the Trotskyist journal The News Line. According to Kathrin, the reason their home phone was tapped was that Roy Battersby had been put on the BBC’s “blacklist.” Family friends included famous personalities like Ken Loach and Vanessa Redgrave.
