Beckinsale a "Vision"
Kate Beckinsale has to be one of the most beautiful women of our time. She is absolutely gorgeous and her charm is without compare.
shareJust to offer a counter-opinion... I find her to be very pretty, but not perfect. There is something just a little odd about her facial features, in a way I probably couldn't put into words. Visually, she reminds me of Elizabeth Perkins, about whom I can say the same thing: pretty, but just a little odd. Whatever it is, it's enough to distract me any time I encounter either of these women.
However... in this movie, Kate is really beautiful. Maybe it's the hairdo or the makeup, but the oddness -- whatever it is -- is diminished here and her look is admittedly stunning.
You also mentioned her charm, and I am 100% with you there; she played this role perfectly. I would have been obsessed too.
