The most compelling aspect of this marriage gone bad would appear to be the general hatred the 2 parties feel - or at least FELT - for each other for a considerable amount of time. Baldwin met his future wife, actress Kim Basinger, when they played lovers in the film The Marrying Man. They married in 1993 and had a daughter, Ireland, in 1995. For a while they seemed like a consummate married couple maybe even a power couple as both of their careers were fairly hot and they remained in the public eye. But things eventually went off the rails and the catalyst seemed to be Baldwin's famous temper which has been legendary in Hollywood for years. As the frustration in the proceedings mounted, Baldwin accused Basinger of blocking him from seeing or talking to his daughter, ignoring court orders and trying to turn Ireland against him. It reached it's peak when a voice mail message of Baldwin calling his daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig" was leaked to the media. Thankfully, it seems like things have calmed down as there have been no reported outbursts in quite a while.
A self professed Stephen King/Star Wars geek and pop culture neophyte, Scott tends to spend much of his time alone pondering life's greatest mysteries.....he also depends heavily on his son Liam, a great sounding board, to set him straight on Star Wars issues and gives him advice on what EXACTLY he's doing wrong.
