- More trouble for talented but temperamental Kim Basinger.
- After playing prima donna on the set of her last film, she's now
- backed out of the title role in Boxing Helena, the would-be
- directorial debut of Jennifer Lynch (daughter of shockmaster
- David), prompting the film's producers to file a $5 million
- lawsuit. "I can't simply shove anybody into the role," says
- Lynch. "It's a very intense, demanding part." Indeed: the
- character loses her limbs and is kept in a box by an obsessive
- lover. Lynch believes Basinger's bailout "stems from fear," but
- Kim's lawyer cited "classic creative differences" and insisted,
- "She never signed anything." Does that mean Lynch hasn't got a
- leg to stand on?
