Details
On August 17, the actress was spotted running errands in Los Angeles. Basinger was wearing no makeup, a dark gray zip-up sweatshirt, cropped jeans, black sandals, and sunglasses. Her blonde hair was pulled into a high bun.
Basinger's last major role was an appearance in the 2018 erotic romantic drama "Fifty Shades Freed." At the same time, the actress has not announced her retirement.
Why Basinger rarely acts
In February 2025, Basinger told Variety that she had not left the film industry but had become very selective about offers.
I am very particular
Basinger also emphasized that acting remains an important part of her life.
It is the only thing that has kept me afloat—emotionally, physically, in every sense of the word. It just helps me keep going. I love that space between "Action" and "Cut"
Basinger has a 30-year-old daughter, Ireland, with her former husband, Alec Baldwin. The couple was married from 1993 to 2002. In 2025, the actress said that she and her former husband had a good relationship.
Alec and I have a wonderful relationship. I have great respect for his status today and for his family
According to her, they do not see each other often, but they keep in touch.
