Angela Bassett

The veteran actress is known for playing biographical roles or roles with a strong and fierce female lead.  You’ve seen her in Black Panther, What’s Love Got To Do With It, Malcolm X, and the highly viewed television film, The Jacksons: An American Dream.  The Yale University graduate recently stated she felt that she deserved an Oscar for her reprisal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It. While on Andy Cohen’s What What Happens Live, a fan’s comment was read on air which stated that she thought the actress should’ve won an award, Bassett responded by saying “Yeah, me too” while laughing.
