Kate Beckinsale's prison boast

Kate Beckinsale could "handle herself" in prison.The 35-year-old actress - who has played an inmate in many of her films - thinks she would have no trouble coping in jail.She said: "It's weird because I do feel like I have done more of my fair share of time. I did the prison thing in 'Brokedown Palace', I've done the Philippines prison. "Actually I think I could probably handle myself in a real prison - if I had something heavy to put in my sock!"Kate's father Richard starred in hit UK TV prison show 'Porridge' and the actress believes she may have inherited his love of playing a villain.She is quoted as saying: "My father's television show back home in England was set entirely in a prison. There's obviously a theme there."Kate recently revealed her nine-year-old daughter Lily would rather she work with "retro" stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Joan Crawford instead of Hollywood heartthrobs including Ben Affleck and Hugh Jackman.Kate said: "Lily is really retro so she's kind of like, 'Oh I wish you could work with Joan Crawford or Janice Joplin'. I'm like, 'They're dead now. I totally get it, but it's probably not going to happen'."
