Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger was a successful model in New York City in the early ’70s but fate led her to move to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. She was first seen in the 1981 film Hard Country. Hailed as a sex symbol of the 1980s and 1990s, Basinger came to prominence for her performance of Bond girl Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again (1983). Kim played Vicki Vale in Tim Burton’s Batman (1989), which remains the highest-grossing film of her career.

After 16 years of being in the industry, Kim clinched the credit she deserved when she was given the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress award for her role in L.A. Confidential. Kim Basinger proved that acting is what she can do best. She got acting projects for I Dreamed of Africa, 8 Mile, The Door in the Floor, and Fifty Shades Darker.
