Here’s the Academy Award-winning actress and mother, Kim Basinger, as a fresh-faced high school freshman. It will come as no surprise then that Basinger started her career competing (and winning) beauty pageants, which led to a modeling contract with Ford Modeling Agency. She eventually used her model career as a segue into acting, landing guest appearance spots on TV shows before her breakout role as the Bond girl, Domino Petachi in Never Say Never Again. The rest is history as they say, and she continues to act in movies like the recent Charlie St. Cloud and the upcoming 2013 film The Third Person.
