# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Basinger started as a model, pivoted to acting in 1976, and logged TV work before her feature debut in Hard Country (1981). Never Say Never Again (1983) made her a Bond girl and a name. A Golden Globe nod for The Natural (1984) followed, then the erotic headline-grabber 9½ Weeks (1986) and the biggest payday of her career as Vicki Vale in Tim Burton's Batman (1989). She worked steadily through the '90s — No Mercy, Blind Date, My Stepmother Is an Alien, Cool World, The Real McCoy — before L.A. Confidential (1997) landed her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as a femme fatale who could break your heart. The 2000s brought character turns in 8 Mile, The Door in the Floor, Cellular, The Sentinel, The Burning Plain, and a late-career return in Fifty Shades Darker. Divorced from makeup artist Ron Snyder and actor Alec Baldwin — with whom she shares daughter and social media figure Ireland Baldwin — she lives with her longtime hairdresser Mitch Stone, and once recorded an album with Prince during a high-profile romance between marriages.
