According to People, Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger created a toxic environment for everyone involved on the set of the 1991 movie ‘The Marrying Man’
Alec and Kim, who had just entered a romantic relationship, were reportedly “despicable” to work with.
“Honest to God, if I were destitute and living on the street with no food and somebody offered me a million dollars to work with Alec and Kim, I’d pass,” a senior production staffer told the publication. “Their actions were vile, deplorable, despicable.”
Baldwin reportedly often smashed his cellphones and threw a chair, narrowly missing a staffer
Basinger, now 71, was reportedly just as bad, allegedly demanding that the director of photography be fired because she didn’t like the way he made her look. A source also claimed that she wanted to change lines in the script because writer Simon (a three-time Tony Award winner) “didn’t understand comedy.”
Baldwin, now 66, and Basinger, now 71, would go on to marry in 1993 and have daughter Ireland Baldwin in 1995
