I ran across this old article about Kate Beckinsale's adventures while filming various movies. Here are her experiences filming Much Ado About Nothing:

Beckinsale made her big-screen debut alongside Kenneth Branagh, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton, and Keanu Reeves in this crowdpleaser, but it was Emma Thompson who made the biggest impression on the young actress. Thompson invited Beckinsale into the pool for some skinny-dipping, and advised Beckinsale not to shave her armpits because of the films Shakespearean setting. I was like, This is the coolest person I have ever met, I want to be her, Beckinsale laughed. And still do.
