Kate Beckinsale, 52, has taken to the stage for her 'dream role' as Dr Frank-N-Furter in a one-off production of The Rocky Horror Show. The actress slipped into skimpy lingerie and showcased her impressive vocals during the performance, which she dedicated to her late mother Judy Loe, who died in July.
Beckinsale wore fishnet stockings and a basque as she performed the show's biggest hits, taking on the role made famous by Tim Curry, 79. In a post on Instagram, she shared snaps and clips of the performance, expressing her gratitude to the cast and audience.
The actress revealed that her mother attended university with Tim Curry and saw his opening night at the Royal Court Theatre while nine months pregnant with her. Beckinsale described the experience as a 'magical moment' and thanked the cast for being 'kind, welcoming, and emotionally intelligent'.
Beckinsale announced her mother's death earlier this year, stating she died in her arms after 'immeasurable suffering'. Judy Loe had been battling stage four cancer for two years. Beckinsale's daughter Lily, 26, who she shares with ex-partner Michael Sheen, watched the performance from the audience.
