Hollywood Robert de Niro, on the brink of ruin
50 kilometers from where he was born,
Kim Basinger
(67) decided to
invest his millionaire earnings
in the
purchase of a town
to create an amusement park (as Dolly Parton did with Dollywood at the time) and a film studios. The actress
was
already
a star
after playing the Bond girl in
Never Say Never Again
(1983) and the erotic drama
Nine and a Half Weeks
, which marks 35 years in 2021. She
paid $ 20 million
in 1989 to acquire Braselton , a small town of almost 710 hectares to the Braselton family, whose property had been in their family for 113 years.
That madness
put not only this small town on the map, but also Kim Basinger as one of the new
whimsical luminaries.
The filming of
Nine and a Half Weeks
had been
a psychological torture for the interpreter
due to her panic attacks, vulnerability and emotional manipulation of director Adrian Lyne (Hitchcock had previously done it) that had created such hostility between her and
Mike Rourke
that He even forbade them to talk to each other outside of filming to make the plot more plausible. With the acquisition of Braselton, Basinger wanted to break free.
Personally, his situation was like a roller coaster. She was
divorced from makeup artist Ron Snyder-Britton,
after his flirtations with
Richard Gere or Prince,
who produced the album
Hollywood affair
. However, in 1990 everything changed during the filming of
She Always Says Yes
because
the delays were legendary
(it also happened in
Cleopatra
with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) as she had an
intense sex life with her colleague, Alec Baldwin,
who flaunted her anger throwing chairs through the air or stamping phones on the ground while Kim acted as a diva
washing her hair only with Evian water,
refusing to say the script because he didn't like it or refusing to shoot in sunlight.
In 1993,
Kim and Alec got married
and a few months later she starred in the world's most famous Christmas advertisement, the one about the
Freixenet
bubbles
.
It is said that he accepted the proposal after
filing for bankruptcy.
He had to pay some seven million euros to the producers of
My Obsession for Helena
for failing to honor a verbal agreement and
sold his town for less than a million euros.
Her relationship with Baldwin waned in 1998, but divine providence had a nice gift in store for her, as the following year she won
her first and only Oscar
for
LA Confidential
for best supporting actress. Once again a star, she also became fresh meat for the pink press during
her bitter divorce that ended in 2002
in which the actors spent
3.5 million euros on lawyers.
Despite having a daughter, the model Ireland Baldwin, her father showed his bad temper in the recording of
several telephone messages
that soon came to light. To his first-born he dedicated "you are a rude and brainless sow", "you do not have the decency of a human being" and to his mother, "I don't give a damn if you are 12 years old, 11 years old or that you are a girl, or that your mother be an unconscious and a pain in the ass who does not care about you or what you do. "
At present, the sex symbol of the 80s
lives practically dedicated to her daughter
(she was hospitalized due to emotional disorders), from time to time she appears in movies, she recently sold one of her properties due to lack of liquidity, she deals as best she can with
the Agoraphobia,
last year she was Miu Miu's bedside model and maintains a
discreet relationship
with stylist Mitch Stone.
