Basinger sick of 'hard life' acting

Kim Basinger is so sick of the "hard life" she's led as an actress, she constantly wants to quit the movie industry.

The LA Confidential star, now aged 50, is delighted her eight-year-old daughter Ireland with former husband Alec Baldwin has career goals outside Hollywood, because working on films would only grind her down physically and emotionally.

Basinger said: "It's a huge relief to me. I'm glad that she's not looking towards acting because it's such a hard life. Not a month goes by when I don't think about giving it up. But then I get a new

role or read a new script and feel that I can do something with it."
