Why Did Kim Basinger's Career Go Down The Shitter

She spent a small town, unfortunately Shitts Creek was taken.

She committed the sin of having a plain daughter.

Don’t ask me.

As a young gay man, I thought she was beautiful. My straight friend said that made sense because he thought she looked like a man with a strong jaw and he was not attracted to her at all.

His wife looks like a fat Frau with a triple chin so take that for what it is.

More neuroses than an inbred poodle. Mother of a pig. Yuk!

Agoraphobia. Supposedly

She was a terrible ruler of her kingdom.

She's been hiding out ever since that very public divorce. To be fail, it was pretty high drama, but still lots of actors go through that and come out the other side without it affecting their career. Perhaps she is more sensitive than we think. Not everyone in Hollywood is a narcissistic selfish ass hole.

No where on the planet has she ever been considered a good actress, The Gods lined up for that Oscar that should have gone to Joan Cusack for "In & Out" or Julianne Moore for "Boogie Nights: or Gloria Stuart for "Titanic" Except for this image courtesy of the costume designer, cinematographer and her parents genes, no one remembers her performance.

R9, definitely a very split vote that year.

She was shit from the first time she appeared on screen. Nothing changed throughout her career that changed Hollywood's opinion.

Anybody guess how many cocks she sucked to keep working for all those years?

What?!

I liked her in Never Say Never Again.

I loved her in 9 1/2 weeks, the movie that made me want to move to New York City, the big fruit, the city that never naps... Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it.

I thinks she was too emotionally fragile to handle a demanding career and unpleasant publicity. She seems like an introvert who went into hiding after seeing her personal life splashed all over the tabloids. Not everyone has an easy time dealing with that, you have to have a very tough skin to survive in Hollywood and it looks likes a private person.

I wonder if Baldwin's current wife keeps popping out the kids to obliterate Kim's memory from Alec's mind.

^ it looks like she's a private person.

She has aged well

Growing up in the ‘90s, I had a book of dirty jokes that included the following:

Q: What do Kim Basinger and a tampon have in common?

A: They’re both stuck up cunts.

IIRC, during her prime years, she was married to Alec Baldwin. Plus, she had agoraphobia. Alec Baldwin seems like he wants his woman at home, not out working long hours. He's willing to foot the bill for that.

Yes, Hilaria is out there in the public eye. But everything she does is related to being married to Alec Baldwin and having his children.

In retrospect, KB wasn't a great actress (judging by LA Confidential alone, a movie I love).

[quote] no one remembers her performance.

Out of all the great performances in that film she was the only one to walk away with an Oscar. Crowe, Pearce, Spacey, Cromwell and DeVito were all outstanding, and she received the sole acting nomination and win. Insane to me.

^ I agree. She was fine in the movie, but her co-stars were all better.

Fun fact about LA Confidential: Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce are both Australian.

Fun fact about LA Confidential: I spent the whole shoot trying to dodge Kevin Spacey's creepy advances!

She’s a footnote from the eighties, sort of like Darryl Hannah but not as charismatic. 🤭

Darryl Hannah didn't win an Oscar, though

At least she looked the part for the movies she was in. MADONA TAKE NOTE!
