Mini biography :
Kim overcame her shyness and bought her own town... Kim Basinger
was born December 8, 1953, in Athens, Georgia, the 3rd of 5 children.
Both her parents had been in entertainment, her dad had played big-band
jazz, and her mother had performed water ballet in several Esther
Williams movies. Kim was introspective, from her father's side. As
a schoolgirl, she was very shy. To help her overcome this, her parents
had Kim study ballet from an early age. By the time she reached sweet
sixteen, the once-shy Kim entered the Athens Junior Miss contest.
From there, she went on to win the Junior Miss Georgia title, and
traveled to New York to compete in the national Junior Miss pageant.
Kim, who had blossomed to a 5'7" beauty, was offered a contract on
the spot with the Ford Modeling Agency. At the age of 20, Kim was
a top model commanding $1,000 a day. Throughout the early 1970s, she
appeared on dozens of magazine covers and in hundreds of ads, most
notably as the Breck girl. Kim took acting classes at the Neighborhood
Playhouse, performed in various Greenwich Village clubs, and she sang
under the stage name Chelsea. Kim moved to Los Angeles in 1976, ready
to conquer Hollywood. Kim broke into television doing episodes of
such hit series as "Charlie's Angels." In 1980, she'd marry Ron Britton
(they divorced in 1989). In movies, she would have roles like being
a Bond girl in "Never Say Never Again" (1983), or play a small-town
Texan beauty in "Nadine" (1987). Her breakout role was as photojournalist
Vicki Vale in the blockbuster hit "Batman." There was no long-orchestrated
campaign on her part to snag this plumb role, Kim was a last-minute
replacement for Sean Young. This took her to a career high. With perhaps
too much disposable income, Kim headed up an investment group that
purchased the entire town of Braselton, in her native Georgia, for
$20 million (she would later have to sell it). In 1993, Kim married
Alec Baldwin, and in 1995 they had a daughter, Ireland Eliesse. Kim
took some time off to stay at home with her child. Kim, who loves
animals and is a strict vegetarian, devoted energy to animal rights
issues, and PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), even
posing for some ads. In 1997, Kim gave an Oscar-winning performance
in the film noir classic "L.A. Confidential." Kim's salary for "I
Dreamed of Africa" is $5,000,000-- putting her firmly in the category
of big-name movie star. And no doubt there are still many great things
ahead, in the career of cover girl turned Oscar-winning actress Kim
Basinger.
