Angela Evelyn Bassett was born on August 16, 1958, in New York City. Her portrayal of Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It earned a Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination, and her career also includes Malcolm X, Waiting to Exhale and the Black Panther films.
Bassett has continued prominent television work in American Horror Story and 9-1-1. She received an Honorary Academy Award in January 2024 and won a Primetime Emmy later that year for narrating Queens.
She married actor Courtney B. Vance in 1997, and they have twins.
