Kate Beckinsale and Rhona Mitra not only look alike, they are actually pretty similar in their personal lives as well. Both Beckinsale and Mitra were born in England in the 70′s and are only three years apart from each other. In fact, Beckinsale was born in 1973 and is now 36 (wow, she looks much younger) and Mitra was born in 1976 and is now 33. Both actresses are the same height, have the same hair color and length, same eye color and of course same bone strucure.
Beckinsale and Mitra also followed the same film path for the most part and those paths have crossed for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Rhona Mitra played Sonja, the daughter of vampire ruler Viktor who executed her when she fell in love and was impregnated by a Lycan. Kate Beckinsale played a young girl who was “saved” by Viktor after he slaughtered her family and turned her into a vampire because she reminded him so much of his daughter Sonja.
Mitra might not have been as famous as Beckinsale in past years but she is definitely doing her part to catch up by guest starring in numerous TV shows like Party of Five, The Practice, Boston Legal, Nip/Tuck, Stargate Universe and the newest ABC vampire series, The Gates. Speaking of vampires, both Mitra and Beckinsale have played vampires but only Beckinsale played a vampire hunter in Van Helsing. I love love love both of them and hopefully we’ll get to see these two beautiful ladies in a movie together again.

Pretty sure you got the marriage comparison backwards. Kate Beckinsale is married to Len Wiseman last I checked, right?
Oh lol… My bad. Thanks!
Rise Of The Lycans do have some great fighting scene between the werewolves and the vampires, it is a nice movie ~`-
the only thing i didn’t like about underworld rise of the lycans was that rhona mitra died
. But my favorite movie of hers is Doomsday and i love kate beckinsale in the Underworld Movies. I really hope they star in a movie together someday
I completely agree Dante, Rhona Mitra is a fantastic actress… I’m a big fan!
The rise of the lycans was a great movie. I almost thoughtthat it was kate beckinsale who played the part of Sonja. Kate and Rhona really looks a like.
Have you been to a website called Celebrity Happening yet? There are a few hundred contests for celebrity look alikes to join and get recognized. I really enjoy viewing the contests, leaving comments, and voting up or down the look alike contestants. You will be surprised who thinks they look like Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie. Some of the them actually do professional work as doubles in movies, music, sports, and television. A few of my friends have joined as look alikes but I haven’t found a celebrity that looks like me yet. It’s more fun for me, anyway, just to vote for the celebrity look alikes.
My dumbass girlfriend thought she right and she argued with me for 39 minutes till I showed her this now she finally admits I was right the whole time
Beckinsale is the better known. Mitra’s performance in The Shooter was sound, and she has stand-out presence.
they look NOTHING alike.
Both ladies played well in underworld and excited whenever the next one to comes out…just watched the newest one in 3da lots of action…very good movie
