In Marc Webb’s romantic coming-of-age drama “The Only Living Boy in New York,” Kate Beckinsale appeared in 2017. The ensemble cast of the film includes Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Bridges, and Callum Turner. Because of Beckinsale’s depictions of a book editor and a publisher’s mistress, the son’s life grew more problematic.
The film barely attracted a modest audience in theaters, despite both favorable and unfavorable reviews. The A.V. Club claims that by not covering their voices, Brosnan and Beckinsale provided more intrigue to the film and were inappropriate for the sorrowful melodrama that the film attempted to be.
On ITV and Amazon Prime’s drama series “The Widow” in 2019, Beckinsale made her acting debut.
With this, she made her television comeback after more than 20 years. In the drama, Beckinsale portrayed an Englishwoman who believes her husband—whom she believed had perished in an airplane disaster three years earlier—is still alive in the Congo.
She also appeared in the 2021 action comedy film “Jolt” with Bobby Cannavale, Laverne Cox, Stanley Tucci, and Jai Courtney. Beckinsale portrayed a victim seeking retribution in the role. “Jolt” was released by Amazon Studios in July 2021. In the same year, she also acted in and served as executive producer of the dark comedic web series “Guilty Party” on Paramount+.
How long was Kate Beckinsale married?
Kate was previously married to director Len Wiseman for 12 years. The couple married in May 2004 after meeting on the set of Underworld, a 2003 film co-starring Beckinsale’s then-partner Michael Sheen. Wiseman filed for divorce in 2016, and the divorce was finalized in 2019.
