Kim Basinger: Then & Now

Kim Basinger: Then & Now — Kim Basinger is an American actress and former fashion model, born on December 8, 1953. And let me tell you, this lady knows how to bring home the bacon! She’s received so many awards, it’s hard to keep track, and even has her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Talk about a boss babe!

Kim started out as a model in New York, and then she brought her talents to the City of Angels, where she started acting in 1976. She dabbled in made-for-TV films, before making her big screen debut in the drama Hard Country in 1981. Her blonde hair and piercing eyes made her a total sex symbol in the 80s and 90s.

She played Bond girl Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again, and then went on to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her work in The Natural. And let’s not forget her role as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton’s Batman, which is still the biggest moneymaker of her career. Kim took her femme fatale skills to a new level in 1997’s L.A. Confidential, earning her the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Other big credits include No Mercy, Blind Date, My Stepmother Is an Alien, Cool World, I Dreamed of Africa, 8 Mile, The Door in the Floor, Cellular, Grudge Match, and even Fifty Shades Darker!

Is there anything this woman can’t do? We don’t think so! Check out photos of Kim Basinger through her career, here.
