Happy Birthday Angela Bassett!

To celebrate Bassett’s 54 years of beauty, take a look at our favorite and most recent pictures of Angela Bassett. Playing such monumental figures as  Tina Turner in What’s Love Got to Do with It, Betty Shabazz in Malcolm X and Panther, Rosa Parks in The Rosa Parks Story, Katherine Jackson in The Jacksons: An American Dream, and Voletta Wallace in Notorious, she is definitely one of our favorite celebrity women — and she’s getting better with the passage of time.
