Kim Basinger
 Early
life : Basinger was born in Athens, Georgia. Her father, Don
Basinger, was a big band musician and loan manager who landed in
Normandy during D-Day. Her mother, Ann, was a model, actress,
and swimmer in Esther Williams films. She has two brothers, Mick
and Skip, and two sisters, Ashley and Barbara.
When Basinger was sixteen years old, she started her modelling
career by winning the Athens Junior Miss contest. She followed
that up by winning the title “Junior Miss Georgia”. Basinger
then headed to New York City to compete in the national Junior
Miss pageant. It was there that Basinger was offered a modeling

headed back to New York to become a Ford model.
Celebrity Big
Brother
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 was the fifth series of the United
Kingdom reality television series Celebrity Big Brother, a spin-off
of Big Brother. The series was broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK
(also on S4C in Wales), and involved a number of celebrities
referred to as 'housemates', who live in the Big Brother House
with no contact with the outside world. In recent series, the
show's producers have offered celebrities money to appear on
Celebrity Big Brother.
Celebrity Big Brother 2007 started on 3 January 2007, and ran
for 26 days. The launch show peaked at 8.2 million viewers,
making it the second most-watched launch in Big Brother history.
It was the first Celebrity Big Brother series to be shown in the
16:9 widescreen format and the final Celebrity series to be held
in the Elstree compound with the regular series later in the
year being the final one overall.
