Kate Beckinsale graces the new cover of Mean magazine, posing as French cinema actress Anna Karina.

Anna came to Paris at the age of seventeen, where she met Pierre Cardin and Coco Chanel. She was then noticed by Jean-Luc Godard, who cast her in his movie. The two married, and then divorced in 1967.
