In an in-depth new interview with Selection, movie icon Kim Basinger dug deep into her life and legacy — together with long-standing rumors that she and Mickey Rourke feuded on the set of her 1986 breakthrough movie, the controversial erotic thriller 9 1/2 Weeks.
Basinger, 71, revealed that as a result of she requested director Adrian Lyne — who she described herself as having a “love-hate” relationship with, although she finally “was very loopy about him” — to shoot the movie chronologically, she didn’t meet Rourke earlier than coming to set.
