Basinger Closes Her Town Deal: Kim Basinger welcomes you to visit Braselton, Ga. “It’s a perfect place for filming,” the actress said after signing papers Wednesday night in Atlanta to close the transaction that gives her most of the northeastern Georgia town of 500 people. Basinger hopes to use some of the 1,728 acres for which she paid $20 million to build a “major film studio” and a “major recording studio.”
