If you were able to catch the happy couple during their recent visit to LA's Eso Wan Books then...why didn't you take us with you?!? LOL Here are a few pictures of Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance's meet and greet yesterday while signing their new book "Friends: A Love Story"!
As Akeelah's mother, single parent of four, grandmother at an early age, and a registered nurse, Angela Bassett is completely unbelievable. Take that to mean that she's literally not to be believed: no single mother in south L.A. with a full-time job, four kids and a grandbaby looks like Angela Bassett. Of all the believable black actresses who don't get enough work, why was Bassett of the gladiator biceps and glowing complexion the one to get this role? She's as proficient as ever, but her mere presence shatters any realism the movie might have earned.
Angela Bassett: Use what you can’t undo
Actress Angela Bassett gets candid about the rocky relationship with her father in an interview with More magazine.
As a child, Bassett said, she rarely saw her dad. Once she was in college, the visits were distressing at best. On one occasion, Bassett said her father tried to give her marijuana. On another visit, what should have been a sweet kiss goodbye was anything but. Bassett’s not-so-fatherly figure put his tongue in her mouth.
“When he did that, I was just angry, and angry at myself that I didn’t slap the ---- out of him,” Bassett told the mag. Instead, the 48-year-old actress said she opted to hold on to the emotions as fuel for future acting gigs. “Use it,” Bassett said. “I can’t undo it.”
"This man cant wait til' I have both feet out of the car? Dang, wheres Courtney when I need him?"
"Trust me, Jen. When the time comes your abs will be as tight as mine."
"I told you Ike aint got it like me."
"Why am I surrounded by half-naked men that I wouldnt give the time of day? UGH!"
"Damn I wish I was a brotha."
"If thy hand resides farther thee goblet in mine hand will surely fall"
