Alec Baldwin's first known controversy happened on October 26, 1995, when he got into a scuffle with a photographer named Alan Zanger outside his Woodland Hills, Calif., property.

At the time, he and his then-wife, Kim Basinger, were returning home with their then-newborn baby, Ireland Baldwin, from the hospital.

According to reports, Baldwin sprayed shaving cream all over the windows of the car where was Alan camped out. The photographer later claimed the Knots Landing alum punched and broke his nose – but Baldwin dismissed the claims and said he only slapped the camera.

Baldwin was acquitted of misdemeanor battery charges and won his invasion of privacy lawsuit against the photographer. However, he was demanded to pay $4,500 in damages after Zanger won a civil case.
