Basinger Played The Same Character In A 13episode TV Spinoff In 1980

She won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in L.A. Confidential (1997). She spent most of her childhood studying ballet from about the time she was three to her mid-teens. Not long after the Ford deal, Basinger was on the cover of magazines. Basinger played the same character in a 13-episode TV spinoff in 1980. The film’s director, Curtis Hanson, cast her once more as Eminem’s mother in 8 Mile (2002). She was also seen in the mainstream thrillers Cellular (2004) and The Sentinel (2006), and The Informers (2009). They played themselves in a 1998 episode of The Simpsons (which includes Ron Howard), in which Basinger corrects Homer Simpson on the pronunciation of her last name and polishes her Oscar statuette.
