We’ll call this one brunch. Limited edition joint. Savor it. Angela Evelyn Bassett (born August 16, 1958) has always been the most consistently beautiful woman in hollywood. While these other actress stay under the knife, Angela keeps it all the way natural. She’s probably been passed up for career changing roles for that reason. You know how they do black women in hollywood. Halle Berry had to do that bag of bones Billy Bob Thornton in order to get an oscar. Jennifer Hudson got an oscar not so much for acting, but her singing. Doesn’t really count.

Here’s a little bit about Angela from Wikipedia:

Bassett attended Yale University and received her B.A. degree in African-American studies in 1980. In 1983, she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Yale School of Drama. At Yale, Bassett met her future husband Courtney B. Vance, a 1986 graduate of the drama school. After graduation, Bassett worked as a receptionist for a beauty salon and as a photo researcher.

Angela should be a role model for all the young black girls out there. She commands respect by displaying the respect she has for herself first. A rare quality these days. Shout out to Courtney B. Vance for having the wherewithal to recognize a legend in the making and putting a ring on it.
