Basinger confronts own fears in HBO’s ‘Panic’ ■ Combatting fear: Kim Basinger appears in HBO doc umentary‘Panic’ By Frazier Moore The Associated Press NEW YORK— Mysterious, overpowering blitzes of fear: In Kim Basinger’s life, there have been so many. But one stands out. The setting: her fourth-grade classroom at Alps Road Elementary in Athens, Ga. “It’s very quiet and kids are rais ing their hands. But the teacher called on me,” she recalled. Just thinking back on that mo ment during a recent interview, Basinger dislodged almost palpa ble dread. “I stood up and I was shaking, and my mouth wouldn’t move, and everybody stared at me, and I thought I was going to faint. I ran out of the classroom. It was horri ble.” Unbeknownst to her or anyone else, Basinger was gripped by something called panic disorder. She still is. And however extraor dinary her accomplishments as a star and Academy Award-win ning actress, in one respect she re mains all too common: She shares this affliction with as many as 28 million other Americans. Basinger provides a compelling case history in a new HBO docu mentary, titled simply “Panic.” Produced and directed by Eames Yates, whose credits include HBO’s acclaimed “Dead Blue: Surviving Depression” of two years ago, “Panic” airs Friday at 8 p.m. EDT. Besides Basinger, the film visits an unemployable model in Los Angeles who is plagued by inter mittent dizziness, shortness of breath, crying and terror. It travels with a successful mort gage banker from Syracuse, N.Y., as he attempts to escape his geo graphic “comfort zone” for the four-hour drive to see his ailing grandmother in New Jersey. Yet another subject: Earl Camp bell, the Heisman Trophy-win ning running back at the Universi ty of Texas who later played with the Houston Oilers, then fell vic tim to panic disorder after his foot ball career ended. Thinking back to when he hid in a room with the shades drawn and even contemplated suicide, he says, “It wasn’t any more of that tough stuff.” Panic disorder comes in many forms with many causes. The film hears from experts who offer psy chological and physiological theo ries, and try to explain to nonsuf ferers what the affliction is like.
