The next step was roles in series. She appeared on the big screen for the first time with another blonde girl born in December – Daryl Hannah. It was a Hard Country movie .
Life brought Kim Basinger many “twists”. Few know that she suffered a mental illness and the divorce she went through cost her a lot of health and money. She also came up with the idea of buying a plot worth $ 20 million. and went bankrupt. I have no doubt that her biography will become a script itself one day.

Unfortunately, she was also nominated for the Golden Raspberry for the worst actress several times. Films such as Profession the Groom (with Alec Baldwin), Crime Diagnosis with Richard Gere, The Wonderful World , The Gangster Escape, I Dreamed About Africa, A Trial of Strength or Fifty Shades Darker did not convince critics.
Batman from 1989 is remembered by all fans of superheroes. Her role as Vicki Vale has become the benchmark for the next Batman girl actors. As we are talking about fantasy, the actress also appeared in the comedy My stepmother is an alien.

They fought for a child for seven years and spent millions of dollars on it. Kim had severe anxiety and unfortunately so did her daughter.
Kim also survived bankruptcy. At the urging of her family, she bought a large plot of land in Georgia (for $ 20 million) to build a film studio there and organize a festival. Unfortunately, as a result of various difficulties, she was forced to sell the land piece by piece. And the family broke up and Basinger stopped being in touch with her mother and some of her siblings. This was combined with the actress’s resignation from the Boxing Helena project . The studio has obtained $ 8.9 million in court for its benefit, and Kim Basinger has filed for bankruptcy. In the end, there was a settlement worth 3.8 million dollars.
Let’s hope the difficult times are behind her. Kim Basinger, we wish you many film and personal successes.
