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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
Why Basinger rarely acts<\/p>\n
In February 2025, Basinger told Variety that she had not left the film industry but had become very selective about offers.<\/p>\n
I am very particular<\/p>\n
– the actress said, explaining that she receives many scripts she considers unsuccessful.<\/p>\n
Basinger also emphasized that acting remains an important part of her life.<\/p>\n
It is the only thing that has kept me afloat\u2014emotionally, physically, in every sense of the word. It just helps me keep going. I love that space between “Action” and “Cut”<\/p>\n
– she explained.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Alec and I have a wonderful relationship. I have great respect for his status today and for his family<\/p>\n
– Basinger said.<\/p>\n
According to her, they do not see each other often, but they keep in touch.<\/p>\n
