Happy Birthday Kate Beckinsale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Goodness you did a marvelous job of doing the character "Selene" in the movie Underworld 1&2......I absolutely enjoy watching number 2 more, because I feel number 1 the war wasn't finished just yet but I'm glad the second one the war was still on and I'm also thrilled you have a sidekick to watch over you while you get into trouble... I wish you all the best on your celebration and I'm looking forward of seeing your brand new movies from you very soon. :)
