Born: December 08, 1953 in Atlanta, Georgia

Best Known For: Her hit movies, such as LA Confidential and Nine 1/2 Weeks.

Early-life: Born Kimila Ann Basinger on December 8, 1953, in Athens, Georgia, the third of five children. She has two older brothers and two younger sisters. Her father was a jazz musician, while her mother had been in several Esther Williams movies. Young Basinger was shy, and tried to boost her confidence by enrolling in ballet classes. At 16 she began winning beauty contests and as a result was snapped up by a leading modelling agency. She eventually moved to New York and, at 20, was earning $1,000 a day.

Career: Basinger was constantly in demand throughout the 1970s, but hated modelling so began taking acting lessons and sang under the stage name Chelsea. In 1976, she moved to Los Angeles and appeared on TV, most notably in an episode of Charlie's Angels. Her movie debut came in 1981's Hard Country. She had bigger roles in Never Say Never Again, The Natural and Nine 1/2 Weeks - the latter made her a star. Basinger famously pulled out of the 1993 film Boxing Helena; the resulting court case cost her so much money that she was declared bankrupt. She won an Oscar for 1997's LA Confidential; other major projects include Batman, Wayne's World 2, The Getaway, Cellular, 8 Mile, Charlie St Cloud and Grudge Match.

Quote: "I think any girl who comes to Hollywood with sex symbol or bombshell hanging over her has a rough road."
