From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Kim Basinger (born December 8, 1953 in Athens, Georgia) is an American film actress of Irish, Swedish and 1/8th Cherokee descent. Entering the profession after great success as a model, her most prominent appearances include 9½ Weeks (1986), Batman (1989), and L.A. Confidential (1997) for which she received a Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
From 1993 to 2002, she was married to actor Alec Baldwin, with whom she later engaged in a long legal custody battle regarding their child. After separating from Baldwin, she had a relationship with the rap artist and actor Eminem.
The small town of Braselton, Georgia, was bought by Basinger in 1989 for $20 million, with the hopes of establishing the town as a tourist attraction with movie studios and a film festival, but she met financial difficulties and sold it in 1993. The town is now owned by developer Wayne Mason.
