Groovy History

It might sound crazy, but despite being a model – and a very hot one at that – Kim Basinger didn’t always believe that she was a face that anyone would want to star in their movies. She actually said during an interview, “I did a lot of research. I remember going to that meeting with the producer. It was Micheline, Sean’s wife, who had suggested me for this role. I had a meeting with these people, and I sat there and suggested a lot of other girls in the business for the part because I said, ‘I do not look like that, okay?’ But the producer said, ‘No, Sean wants to meet you in London,’” and next thing you know, she’s in the movie.
