Before she turns 40 next year, you may want to check out this week's Pause and Toss of Kate Beckinsale.

She tried to have a serious acting career early on with "Much Ado About Nothing", but thankfully she saw the err of her ways and did what we were all hoping for...nude scenes. For example, she worked with Christian Bale and Gabriel Burn in Royal Deceit, a modern adaptation of Hamlet, with Kate showing us her greatest talent. Then there was a the low-budget thriller "Uncovered".

She eventually gained mainstream acceptance when she was in Pearl Harbor and the days of topless scenes and Skinamax specials were out the window. However, we do have her past work to enjoy.
