Basinger Kimila Ann Basinger
(born December 8, 1953 in Athens, Georgia) is an Academy Award-winning American film actress of German, Irish, Swedish and one-eighth Cherokee descent. Entering the acting profession after great success as a model, her most prominent appearances include 9˝ Weeks (1986), Batman (1989) and L.A. Confidential (1997) for which she received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. From 1993 to 2002, she was married to actor Alec Baldwin, with whom she later engaged in a long legal custody battle (still ongoing) regarding their daughter, Ireland. He says that the case is classic parental alienation syndrome and has spent more than $1m trying to maintain contact. She says he should amend his acting schedule to fit in with hers. The small town of Braselton,
Georgia, was bought by Basinger in 1989 for $20 million, with the hopes of
establishing the town as a tourist attraction with movie studios and a film
festival, but she met financial difficulties and sold it in 1993. The town is now owned by
developer Wayne Mason. [edit] Filmography
Holly
Marie Combs |
|
Born: 3-Dec-1973 Gender: Female Nationality: United States Holly Marie Combs had a fairly rough childhood, born to a 15-year-old mother in a punk band, moving to New York when she was seven, there wandering from one low-rent apartment to another through most of her adolescence. She began acting professionally when she was 10, with a brief appearance in Walls of Glass, with Geraldine Page and Olympia Dukakis. She was an advertising model both in commercials and in print, and at 16 she landed small parts in Francis Ford Coppola's New York Stories and Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July. At 19, she auditioned and interviewed for Picket Fences, but producer David E. Kelley told her, "I don't think you're quite right. The character has a really big heart and I just don't think you fit the bill." Shocked, she retorted: "Then why the hell are you looking in New York?" He was startled, and she left in a huff, but he called back a few weeks later, and she played Tom Skerritt's defiant daughter Kimberly Brock on Picket Fences for four years. On Charmed, she was originally instructed to wear a push-up bra, but rebelled and refused after a few episodes. She has six dogs, five rabbits, four horses, three lovebirds, two cats, three tattoos, and one son. The boy's father, her husband David Donoho, works behind the scenes in film and television, primarily as a key grip. Donoho also created sound effects for the John Waters film Polyester (1981).

Early life
She
was born in Chicago
to Edward and Rosemary Anderson, who were both of English and Irish descent. Soon
after her birth her family moved to Puerto Rico for fifteen months
and then to Crouch End in London. When she was eleven, her family
moved again, this time to Grand
Rapids, Michigan, where she attended Fountain Elementary and then
City Middle/High School, a program for gifted students with a strong emphasis
on the humanities. With her
English accent and background, she felt out of place in the American
Midwest, and developed a reputation as a strong-willed and
rebellious teenager. Anderson, mocked because of her British accent, soon
developed a Midwest dialect. In addition, she had her nose pierced in the early 1980s, and dyed her hair various colors.
She
found an outlet for her talents when she began acting in high school and
community theater productions. She had wanted to be a Marine Biologist, but at
17 after a couple of auditions for the Grand Rapids Community Theater, she
gained a few roles and never looked back. She attended Goodman Theater School
of Drama at DePaul
University in Chicago, where she earned a Bachelor
of Fine Arts in 1990, and a few summer school with the National Theatre of
Great Britian at Cornell
University in Ithaca, New York.
Career
She
moved to New York when she was
twenty-two, and started her career in 'The Philathropist' at the Long Wharf
Theatre. To support herself when she started out she worked as a waitress.
Anderson did a lot of theatre work and won much critical acclaim, including a
1990-91 Theatre World Award for he role in the play 'Absent Friends' produced
by Alan
Ayckbourne which ran at the Manhattan Theatre Club.
She
moved to Los Angeles in 1991/92, spending
a year auditioning. Although she had once vowed she would never do TV,
being out of work for a year changed her mind. Anderson did Home Fires
Burning for a cable station as well as the audiocassette version of Exit
to Eden. She broke mainstream television in 1993, with a guest appearance
on the collegiate drama Class of
'96 on the fledgling Fox
Network.
As a
result of her guest appearance in 'Class of 96', Anderson was sent the script
for 'The X Files' at the age of 24. She decided to audition as: "for the
first time in a long time the script involved a strong, independent intelligent
woman as a lead character." Producer Chris Carter wanted to
employ her, but FOX wanted someone with previous TV exposure and more "bimbo-like". Fox sent in more
actresses, but Carter stood by Anderson, and she was cast as Special Agent Dana
Scully. She got the part assuming it would run for thirteen episodes, the
standard run for American TV networks. Filmed in Vancouver, the series
eventually ran for nine seasons, and included one film. During her time on 'The
X Files' Anderson won several awards for her portrayal of Agent Scully,
inclduing an Emmy Award,
Golden Globe and two SAG
awards for Best Actress in a Drama Series. While filiming she met assistant art
director Clyde Klotz [1], whom she married. She had roles in a
handful of films during the run of The X-Files and starred in The
House of Mirth, an adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel of
the same name.
Since The
X-Files ended, she has performed in several stage productions and worked on
various film projects. She has also done narrative work for documentaries on
scientific topics, in which the voice listeners recognize as "Agent
Scully" lends an air of credible authority to the material. In 2005 she
appeared as Lady Dedlock in a BBC
television adaptation of Charles
Dickens' novel Bleak
House, had a starring role in the Irish film The Mighty Celt (for
which she won an IFTA
award for Best International Actress) and performed in a film version of the
novel Tristram
Shandy, released in January 2006.
Also
of note was her role in the English release of Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, where
she played the voice of Moro. Anderson is a proclaimed lover of Miyazaki's
work. She also took part in Eve Ensler's
The
Vagina Monologues.
In
2006, she was nominated for the prestigious British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for
Best Actress and won the Broadcasting
Press Guild Television and Radio Award for Best Actress for her role
in Bleak House. However, her co-star in Bleak House, Anna
Maxwell Martin walked away with the BAFTA award.
Private life
When she
was younger Anderson was quite the rebel. She dyed her hair purple and went out
with a twenty-year old musician when she was in her mid teens.
On New
Year's Day 1994, Anderson married Clyde Klotz [2], the "The X-Files" series
assistant art director, on the 17th hole of a golf course in Hawaii in a Buddhist ceremony. A few
months later came the news that she was pregnant, and Chris Carter created an
alien abduction storyline that kept Anderson off-camera long enough for labor,
delivery, and a 10-day maternity leave. Daughter Piper Maru was born by cesarian section on
September 25, 1994 - Chris Carter was her godfather.
"The
X-Files" finished its ninth and final season in May 2002, marking the end
of a major period in her life - she started the show when she was 24, and
finished it when she was 34. Her marriage brokedown, and like many American
celebrities and for a complete change of pace, Anderson moved to London. From
November 2002 through February 9, 2003, she starred in the Michael Weller play
"What the Night is For" in London's West End.
In
December 2004, Anderson married Julian Ozanne, a documentary filmmaker, on Lamu's
island of Shella, off the coast of Africa. Anderson and Ozanne announced their
separation on 21 April 2006, after 16 months of marriage [3].
