Kate Beckinsale had her schooling at Godolphin and Latymer School, an independent girls’ school in Hammersmith, West London. She also took part in the Orange Tree Youth Theatre and was named a winner of the WH Smith Young Writers Award for both fiction and poetry twice.
Kathrin described herself as a “late bloomer,” saying that while her peers were already doing adolescent things like kissing boys and drinking cider, she found it disheartening that they weren’t doing more adventurous things like building campfires.
She had a psychological breakdown at the age of fifteen and acquired anorexia, which she addressed with Freudian psychotherapy for four years. Beckinsale later continued her study at New College, Oxford, where she studied French and Russian literature.
During her time there, she became friends with Kirsty, the actress Roy Kinnear’s daughter. She was an active member of the Oxford University Dramatic Society and had the opportunity to collaborate with fellow student Tom Hooper, who went on to become a well-known director.
Hooper directed her in a performance of Arthur Miller’s play “A View from the Bridge” at the Oxford Playhouse. Kathrin spent her third year abroad in Paris as part of her Modern Languages course requirements.
She eventually chose to leave university to pursue her acting career since she felt both her education and acting were becoming too demanding and stressful. Despite this, she stated a wish to continue her education at Oxford University in the future.
