I wanted to be an actress - I didn't want to be a model, I felt myself choking to death. I hated it with a passion. I got hurt very easily. I mean, I'd come in weighing 115 pounds, and I'm 5 feet 7 ½, and I'd be told I was 10 pounds too heavy! And I still wasn't eating a damn thing!

I read the interview mentioned above - I remember it vividly, and thought how disgustingly Kim had been treated.
She looked perfect in 9 1/2 Weeks, which I saw at the pictures in August 1986. I also saw her in the film No Mercy, in which she starred with Richard Gere.
I paid to see Batman at the cinema too, because I liked the cast, which included Kim and Jack Nicholson. It’s a theme that I generally grew out of well before I reached 10, but I still liked Doctor Who!
So after three trips to see her at the pictures, I genuinely believed Kim to be 5ft7, but her super-slim figure will have helped her look taller.
5ft6.5.

I think the height given is correct. Regarding some previous comments, it was always the case that most women fell into a far smaller height range than did men, but nowadays there seems to be a far greater height range among women also. When I'm out I see petite women, and also women of nearly 6ft all over the place. I often wonder whether the average height of men and women will eventually become the same in a few generations.

5'6.5 is really borderline upper average and tall for a woman, sort of like 5'11.5 for a guy, a lot of people would consider her tall. Audrey hepburn would have been considered tall for her generation.
I still go on anything over 5ft 6 being tall for female and anything under 5ft 3 short. Much more simpilar, lol

Gorgeous woman aged quite well not at all on the tall side this may be a good peak.
By the late 90s she was looking shorter 2000s shorter still close to average.
Never looked 5 9 unless she had heels on also would have been same as most of la confidential which she wasn't.

Perfect height for a woman that age.
She was physically too perfect...
Underrated actress because of her beauty.

Could you please consider at some stage adding 'Final Analysis' and 'the Door in the Floor' to her credits please Rob!
I finished the first film last night and her normally innocent appearance belies what she really is, though it was the result of a traumatic childhood of abuse. I think it's definitely worth adding as is 'No Mercy', both of which deserved an acting accolade!
So that makes 3 films worth adding!

I am interrupting my film, 'Final Analysis', to write a comment about Kim Basinger.
She stars in this with Richard Gere, Uma Thurman and Eric Roberts and, though I haven't yet seen Kim stand side by side with Uma, which I had hoped to do, I have with the male cast members, and she looks the 5ft6.5 - 5ft7 written for her here!
I so enjoyed her performance in '9 1/2 Weeks', back in '86, that I went on to see her in 'No Mercy', again with Richard Gere, and 'Blind Date', a comedy with Bruce Willis - all at different cinemas! Obviously, as she was my 'girl crush' of that time, I read a few articles about her and none of them said she was under 5ft7! However, I am going along with 5ft6.5, as 5ft7 might have been written as it sounds more glamorous!
What I liked, and still do, about Kim is that she is vulnerable and innocent looking, yet scorchingly sexy at the same time! She comes over in film as though she's completely oblivious to her own beauty, which is such a rare and delightful trait!
When I've finished this, I have 'The Door in the Floor' to watch, and in this film she stars with Jeff Bridges, and that should prove to be an irresistible watch to me, as I rate them both!

She's not looking so good nowadays since the surgery. I saw The Nice Boys the other night and sadly Kim was looking very plastic in it facially. Sitll very attractive but it's ruined her beauty. It's sad that they can't let these actresses grow old gracefully and still get roles. Kim would have looked amazing even at 70 naturally.

Rob can you add 8 Mile, The Marrying Man, Never Say Never Again, My Stepmother is an Alien and The Real McCoy? Not disputing that she's "the most beautiful woman in the world" as she's breathtakingly beautiful, but Ireland really needs to stop using Big G'S height chart ;-)!

5'7" when she was younger. Looked 5'8" often, probably due to her thinness.

On one site she is listed as 168cms which is 5ft 6 or slightly over which would make her a good 5ft 7 plus in shoes. So that probarbly is her true height.

I would give her about 5ft 6 and a half as her lowest height barefoot. She has looked tall at times but i would give her about 5ft 8 or so in hells. In batman she even looked taller than jack nicholson in 1 or 2 scenes but she could have been in hells. To me she could even have been the most gorgeous girl on screen ever.

In batman both keaton and nicholson looked about and inch and a bit taller than basinger and if they are both around the 5ft 9 mark then she is a certain 5ft 7 or a bit over even.

She looked tall in batman. She looked near the same height as michael keaton and jack nicholson. So at least 5ft 7 or a bit over.
