An actress whose beauty is matched by fiery intelligence
and a regal air of confidence, Angela Bassett faces three daunting
obstacles of her youth-obsessed profession--she's a minority female
over 40--and defies those apparent disadvantages with sheer talent
and consummate integrity. A role model whose modesty belies an
unmistakable sense of inner strength and ambition, Bassett can
rise to the challenge of virtually any role, appearing equally
comfortable in physically demanding action films or intimate dramas.
As her best performances have proven, Bassett is an actress whose
versatility will continue to surprise and impress audiences for
many years to come.
Angela Bassett films include What's
