Glamorous Excess: Kim Basinger, Happy Birthday!
      

KIM BASINGER, born this day in Athens, Georgia, in 1953, is rather like another of my idols, Elizabeth Taylor. She's a drop-dead gorgeous woman whose real life is far more dramatic and tumultuous than any role she's ever played.

Ms. Basinger would certainly laugh uproariously if anyone so much as suggested that she was a fashion icon. She always hated modeling. Though naturally aware of her own beauty and other peoples' perceptions of her, she never took it seriously.  Away from the spotlight, she doesn't wear makeup or favor designer labels that are worth thousands of dollars.

But glamorous and talented the Oscar-winner is, as seen here, in the many looks -- and even sounds -- of Kim Basinger, who sings the Cole Porter classic accompanying the video.
