Kim Basinger

About Kim Basinger

Hollywood, home to film premieres, glittering awards shows, and ... hefty divorce settlements. Case in point; actress Kim Basinger and her legendary split from Mr. Dependable Charm, Alec Baldwin. The couple were once Hollywood's Golden Couple, with A-list film credentials and off-the-charts on-set chemistry. Alas, fairy tales aren't written in Stars, they are written in prenup agreements and post-marriage monetary adjustments which look deceptively similar to telephone numbers.

I'd love to think that after bagging a cool $3,000,000 settlement, Kim directed herself in a lively rendition of "Take the Money and Run". However, to anchor our spirits from soaring into storytelling fantasy, let’s just say; It wasn't Oscar-winning smiles and Cannes happening around during the divorce period. Well, let's observe a moment of silence for the fact that Mr. Alec Baldwin contributed a crisp $3,000,000 for waking up and realising he and the heavenly Basinger did not, in fact, merge as a box office hit partnership.

Nailed it! Kim succeeded to bring her on-set negotiation skills into the divorce scene (No acting needed). her performance was undoubtedly worth an Oscar (Guess she missed that category – Best Performer in an Alimony Lawsuit). We can chalk one more victory up for Basinger and raise our collective cups of comfortingly inexpensive home-brewed coffee – cheers to the happy ending we never saw coming! I'm sure Alec Baldwin felt that bite in his sizeable Hollywood payoff too! Hollywood, where love goes to...divide assets.
