The ABC TV series “Castle” continues that tradition — with a twist. The show may be named after mystery novelist Richard Castle (Nathan Fillion), but it’s the gal, NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Stana Katic), who’s calling the shots.
She’s his superior — the one with the expertise, the steely resolve and the murky, painful past. He fell hard for her, but she made him wait — only when she was good and ready did she show up at his door. “Beckett’s one of those Hawksian dames — strong-willed, intelligent, capable,” Katic says during a break in this fashion shoot. “Characters that Kate Hepburn and Lauren Bacall built, that Slim Keith was known to be like, those were the women we modeled Kate after,” Katic says.
