One of the most underrated talents of her generation, Angela Bassett is a terrific actor, director, and producer who radiates elegance and sophistication. The two-time Oscar nominee and winner of two Golden Globes began her career in 1985, starring in such seminal movies as John Singleton’s Boyz n The Hood and Spike Lee’s Malcolm X in the early ’90s. One year after starring in the latter, Bassett took on her most challenging role in the Tina Turner biopic What’s Love Got to Do with It, earning her first Academy Award nod following her outstanding performance.
