Angela Bassett: The Queen | 267

Wondery
About this episode

It’s Women’s History Month, Richies! In honor of that, we have the queen herself, Angela Bassett. She’s been setting fire to the silver screen ever since she portrayed Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got to Do with It.” But her life - both in front of and behind the camera - has been chock-full of obstacles, disappointments, struggles, and surprises. (Like finding out her boyfriend’s a cheater on national television.) But none of it slows Angela down. With a slew of great film roles - not to mention an Oscar and an Emmy - she’s always proving that Angela Bassett really did do “the thing!”
