Kim Basinger’s Oscar win for L.A. Confidential is easily the high point of her career. But the years leading up to that victory were extremely difficult. Basinger was involved in a costly law suit after backing out of the box office bomb, Boxing Helena. She was also caught up in a whirlwind of bad press after declaing bankruptcy when her investment in the town of Braselton, GA didn’t work out. Following those set-backs, Basinger took some time off to have a baby. At the time of this interview from the April 1997 issue of Movieline magazine, Basinger was just coming back into the spotlight to promote L.A. Confidential.

Then and now.
Has done nothing to change this article.
Arguably shouldn't have won for this role. Just happened to be in a good movie and fit the part.
Boxing Helena wasn't that bad. Her being in it would not have made it any better. (maybe worse )
