Really, you think that nobody else fonds Kate attractive?!?!
How do you think they got a piece of crap film like Underworld financed? The pitch was probably something like:
Director: "Hey, we need $50 million dollars for a big-budget vampires-vs-werewolves story"
Producer: "Sorry, not interested"
Director: "We've got Kate Beckinsale in skintight vinyl throughout the whole film."
You are hardly alone in lusting over Bettie, for a half a century she has been considered one of the greatest models ever. She may not be as well known today as many contemporary models, but that's because she cut her career short back in the fifties. It seems that everyone who knows her loves her.
I agree that Patty Hearst is hot, however that picture is not actually Patty, it's a pic from the movie The Ordeal of Patty Hearst - Here is the real Patty. Here is the classic "Tania" picture.
