Without a doubt. 💛
And she is always the moment!!!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes she is that's my girl and
Angela Bassett is not only a timeless beauty, but her acting legacy will forever go unmatched !

This woman is 64, y'all!!! 64!!!!
Well after being robed for an oscar for her immense talent playing Tina Turner " what love got to do with it" She is still by far one the best actress ever, period.
I couldn't agree more!! ❤
I couldn’t have said it better. I don’t watch the Oscars but I did when she was nominated. They gave it to Jodie Foster for that stupid movie the pianist and to make it worst she didn’t say a word. To this day I’m still incandescent with rage.
"...She is simply the best, better than all the rest."😊
Yes, I agree. She and Mr. Fishburne should have received Oscars. I can’t even remember who won that year. But the Academy has robbed any number of people of their rightful awards.
She looks gorgeous and always so elegant. One of my favorite actresses always.
I’m proud to be black .. We understand 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 phenomenal moment ICON/legendary
This is so sweet sometimes people don't realize the people they have impacted with their creative genius.
Angela Bassett is Grace 🌠
She is so so amazing.
Angela Bassett Is A Blessing.
Queen Diva. Reminds me sooooo much of my mother. Love, love, love her. Will watch her in anything!
Angela is so graceful
One of my favorite actresses no doubt!!
Just lots of love overload here 💜💜💜💜💜
Can someone help me to met her please. Soooooo love this woman.
Just AWESOME 👌
💜💜💜💜 this lady, phenomenal person, woman , actress 👊🏽👊🏽
Beautiful...simply beautiful
This is so beautiful!
The LEGEND..STILL DOING IT
This is beautiful
Simply Beautiful WOW
That young lady in blue could play Ms. Bassett in a biopic. ❤
Angela looks so young!
LOVE YOU ANGELA
Yessss!!!!!
I just love Miss Bassett,she's such an inspirational woman and one of the best actresses in history.😘😍❤❤
I love hearing these stories of pure black empowerment
Lovely!!!
Can that woman get any more beautiful
I love and respect this queen 🤴🏾
🥺
Mabey it's just me but the beautiful lady in blue looks like Angela Bassett.
Ms. Angela? Her name is Mrs. Bassett.
I wish these celebs will stop doing stuff to their face. We the people can tell
It's sad. Spend thousands of dollars at an Ivy league university and the only inspiration you can draw from is an actor. SMDH. Just skip the butt kissing and set up an appointment with Harvey Weinstein.
Women empowering women. 👏
Yes!!!! That part right there!!! 🤩😍
That's not a woman
Angela Bassett's acting is just next-level. I would feel so honored to be in her program.
This is what leaving a legacy and being a trailblazer looks like. I am not even an artist and i look up to her as an example of what talent, aspiration, inspiration, hard work and consistency looks like. The young women are also well on their way to creating their own legacies. This is also what giving back to your community and being exalted for it looks like. We need the guidance of our elders and we as the young generation need to pay our respects and dues to them for the path they have laid for us much like these young women are doing. In the words of the great Chadwick Boseman, "to be young, gifted and black"!
Young Gifted and Black is a song by Nina Simone from the 70s.
Wow, that was better than any Oscar tribute!
Honestly!
This touched my heart , Angela Bassett is walking in her purpose God created her to be. May God continue to bless her 🙏🏾
I wish y’all had Sheryl Lee Ralph and Angela Bassett on the same episode, but I’m glad they were both on this week anyway
There is no one like Angela. A class act to her core.
She sure is!!
Crying? I’m not crying…yes I am.
Lauren (the girl in blue) plays an attorney on the show City on a Hill. Great show. Highly recommend.
I was trying to figure out where I’d seen Lauren’s face. Thanks and I watch the show!
Yes, I love that show.
That's great
I knew it!
It was at Yale Drama School where Angela met her now husband, Courtney B. Vance, who, btw, also graduated from the Drama School. Yep - two Yale Drama School alumni in that family.
They've been Married 25 Years! 😘
I am moved…to tears of happiness!
I utterly ADORE Miss Angela Basset in everywhere!❤
Darn, they hit one of my emotional cords. Got this grown man over here shedding a little tear or two. Such a legend Angela is.
Same here! This got me
@Mike Bas this grown woman too! 🥲
when a tear hit my chest, I knew I was done 😏♥️
she looks 38!!!
She’s still gorgeous and hasn’t aged one bit
Yeah, what the eff?? She looks AMAZING!!!! I mean, seriously...she must be the clearest, most ridiculously relevant of the old adage "black don't crack." 😁
Melanin whoop whoop!!!!
Angela Bassett.........no further explanation needed.... ever
This is such a blessing what a legend absolute love her💟
🤗 Ms. Bassett Outfit and Yellow 💛 Stilettos!
An Ageless, Super 🌟 Icon, Well Dressed and Spoken, a Classy and Humbled Beauty 👸🏾
She was Exceptional in
What's Love Got to Do With It (Tina Turner) and
Waiting to Exhale 😉
Angela has that golden age of Hollywood elegance and sophistication
Love is also timeless & you can feel it all during the interview!!
I smell the perfume of an Oscar nomination for her role in Wakanda Forever.
Angela Bassett gave women and black skin brown skin Latino and all folks like us voices I’m so proud and humbled by her strength and her courage
I am so in awe of Angela Bassett. She just exudes so much strength and power and kindness, and she is an amazing actress of course. Her committment to other artists and to black and brown folks is amazing, and I wish her a loooong life and continued success. I am not even a black woman, but I feel so connected to who she is and to what she does (and why she does it). BTW, the only reason I mention me not being a black woman is to illuminate the fact that despite me having those superficial "differences" from who she is, I can still relate to this queen and admire her with deep respect and love.
she is so beautiful my goodness!
She made me cry in Wakanda Forever last night.
Lauren W Bänks in the blue starred in the show “City on a Hill” on showtime. Y’all should check it out. She’s a good actress.
Thanks so much for pointing that out - thought it was her, wasn't sure. Yes Beautiful actress too !!
Such a beautiful & talented woman!
Sis your youthful beauty, energy, and ability to express is surely a gift from The Most High. You never age, and truly you are a worthy example for our women to follow; thank you for the woman you are 4real💯❤️👑
She really doesn't realize how much our culture views her as our GOAT as our Meryl Streep. As our Queen Of All Time. She is so highly respected by her own in a sea of disrespect amongst the main stream. She is a special actress. She made it look more like art
She so Inspiring to the black community
She is so beautiful to me. How she carries herself, how she speaks, her mannerism, her smile… she is the embodiment of powerful black woman. Man!
Angela Bassett is a national treasure. 👑🥰
The girl in blue looks like Angela.
Wow!! I thought that also she does look like her!!!
Ms. Angela Bassett is such a leader and a true queen changing so many lives. The younger actress in blue is amazing. She's on the show City on the Hill go check her out guys.
Beautiful story! Nice yellow stilettos👠
Yes, 🤗 her Outfit and Yellow 💛 Stilettos! 😉
Well deserved lady very classy hard worker and knows the struggle of women it is hard out here for us and we need more women like this in the world when when women put their mind to something that they want to do in this world believe me we accomplish it we always do with God's grace on her side
Umm, I’m only 8 seconds in and had to stop to comment:
HOW GREAT DOES THIS WOMAN LOOK??? ❤❤‼️
This was so touching 😭❤️🔥
She is just the epitome of style and class. What an amazing role model
isn't just what you do but what you don't do. Not just what you did but how you did it. Not just what you said but how you said it. Love is so simple yet the simple make it so hard. Love Is full of knowledge yet even the smart don't get it. Love doesn't cost a fortune yet fortunes are spent trying to gain it. Love does demand of you yet you are not willing to sacrifice for it. Those who only seek what love can give and do for them, do nothing for love and others and in such selfish pursuit, in turn rob themselves of love's best gift. Make this year the year you seek to sow love and not just reap it. Be love and not just think it. Do love and not just say it. Talk love and just don't fake it. Seek love and just don't chase it. Embrace it but don't enslave it, share it but don't dare boast in it. Enjoy it but don't abuse it. Free it and watch it come back. Invest in it and watch it pay back. Wash your life in it, light your darkness with it, eat your food with it conduct your business with it and above all else Serve God in it. For whatever love is and is not, it's all of, for and From Him. He is LOVE! "
