I really don’t know for sure if Kim being married to Alec Baldwin ultimately had a very detrimental effect on her career or vice versa. I have noticed that during their marriage, it seemed like Kim’s work load seemed to slow down (maybe because she was too busy w/ their young daughter). There’s really doubt however, that the marriage didn’t exactly help Kim in the long run at least from a public perception standpoint.

On second thought, Hollywood hated Baldwin for a while there. And Basinger kept forcing Baldwin on them after they wanted to be done with him. Plus, when they were together, they brought out the worst in each other. Up through The Getaway, they were generating tons of negative buzz together. I have read about how the jury in Basinger’s trial hated Baldwin for showing up with slicked back hair wearing sunglasses every day. He just rubbed people the wrong way.

I think that’s one of Kim Basinger’s biggest weaknesses (if you want to call it that), in that she could be very naive and/or impulsive with her career choices or decisions.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if Alec Baldwin didn’t have a lot of male or female fans at the time. Men more than likely didn’t like him too much since they were envious of the fact that he was married to Kim Basinger in the first place. And women maybe didn’t like him because of the perception of Alec being a hot-tempered bully (which quite frankly lingers today).

It’s like the way I see it, Kim can sometimes be considered “off-kilter” w/ her rather seemingly neurotic personality much like Alec can be w/ his hot-head tendencies. Therefore, putting those together w/ personality issues seems on the surface like a bad combination.

To make matters worse, it seemed like Kim has becoming depended on Alec (and maybe the other way around around) on retaining her star power. For example, they once hosted SNL together, they guest starred on The Simpsons together (Kim at one point in the episode got upset at Homer for pronouncing her last name as “BAH-ASS-IN-JUR instead of BAY-SING-JUR, while Alec was mistaken by Homer as Billy Baldwin) besides co-starring in several movies together like The Getaway and The Marrying Man.
