Something wrong?She was the blonde who made Bond sweat, then spent two decades as Hollywood's go-to for glacial beauty with a simmer underneath - until L.A. Confidential proved she could act circles around the bombshell brand and won her an Oscar.

, We are one half of this planet and yet women all over the world are second class citizens. There are many women abused in so many countries.
Life does imitate art many times, and people pick up from the movies. Messages are sent that way.
But if you really look at it, men are kept as the sacred ones and touted the older they get. It’s always been the old adage that women are put out to pasture the older they get.

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.
