Angela Bassett Instagram – Longevity in Hollywood can be elusive—unless you’re Angela Bassett, whose presence in the zeitgeist is anything but a mystery to those who know her. The determined daughter of a single mother, Bassett, who was born in New York City and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, had instilled in her early on the belief that she could, and would, transcend her modest beginnings to achieve something great. To be somebody.
She did, and she is. With a four-decade career still going strong, Bassett stands as an icon, revered for her powerhouse portrayals of some of the most famous women of recent times and her versatility. With a smart new series that puts her in the Oval Office and a summer blockbuster on the horizon, she delivers a master class in both elegance and endurance.
Our March issue cheers on those who keep going, make a comeback, or finally, after years of doing it right, get the recognition they deserve. T&C’s annual OGs list honors those who have reached undeniable heights and the tried-and-true moves and places that helped them get there. Also inside: Nicole LaPorte on the shock-resistant college counselor economy and @soulistaphd on the lasting legacy of America’s black bridge clubs. Plus, international tariff panic from fashion’s frontlines, a high society spy tells all, and a tony Texas enclave wondering if it looked the other way for too long.
