Kim Basinger has agreed to pay up to $3.8 million to resolve a dispute over her refusal to star in "Boxing Helena."

The deal came Monday in Los Angeles as the actress and the film's producer, Main Line Pictures, were to retry their case after an appeals court overturned a 1993 judgment of $8.1 million against Basinger.The parties declined to specify the exact amount of the settlement.

The lawsuit began when Basinger walked out of the film on the eve of production, citing concerns about the script, her character and nudity.

The film about a surgeon who amputates the limbs of a woman he loves was made later with Sherilyn Fenn.
