They got married on August 19, 1993 and acted in the remake of The Getaway. They also played themselves in a 1998 episode of “The Simpsons” (episode also includes Ron Howard), in which Kim Basinger corrects the main person on cartoon Homer Simpson on the pronunciation of her last name and also polishes her “Oscar” statuette. The couple has a daughter, Ireland Eliesse “Addie” Baldwin. They filed for divorce in January 2001 and became officially divorced in February 2002. Since then they feel hostility to each other and are in a contentious public custody battle. Alec Baldwin’s book “A Promise To Ourselves” tells how Kim Basinger denied Baldwin access to their daughter since their separation.
