Many may know it now, but Kate has a sister who acts as well. Her half-sister Samantha Beckinsale and she both share the same father – Richard Beckinsale – and Kate made her first appearance on screen at the age of 4 on an episode of This Is Your Life that was dedicated to him.
By the next year, however, tragedy struck the family when her father died from a heart attack at only 31 years of age.

Her mother remarried, however, and Kate grew up with five other siblings before reconnecting with Samantha as an adult.
