- Kim Basinger Kim Basinger Info The beautiful model turned Oscar winning actress was born and raised in Athens, Georgia, to a jazz musician father and a champion swimmer/model/water ballet performer mother. Kim was so shy as a child that her parents had her tested to see if she was autistic. One thing was for sure; even with her bashfulness, Kim knew she was going to be an actress and she always told her parents so. Since performing is in both her parents' genes, this was not so hard to believe. Basinger took diving, dancing and gymnastics lessons in high school. She was sixteen when she entered the Athens Junior Miss contest, and won by singing a number from My Fair Lady. She later won the Junior Miss Georgia title and moved on to compete in the national Junior Miss pageant held in the Big Apple. |
