Happy Birthday to Style Star Angela Bassett, who turns 61 this week. Some women defy age; Ms. Bassett is one of them. Did you see her Instagram photo posing in a bikini last year when she turned 60?
I caught her interview with Allure Magazine, where they queried her youth-sustaining secrets. People have asked the actress forever, “What do you do, what do you eat, how do you stay…?” She works with a personal trainer two days a week at home.
Another spotlight, an InStyle interview, asked the style star, How Do You Care For Yourself? “It’s constant. Last week, it was about getting the yearly physical and mammogram. My doctors tell me that my physiology and makeup thrive on being physical. I’ll go jogging or walking, and Yoga is usually a little slow for me. I prefer to lift weights or run on the treadmill, maybe do Pilates.”
The actress, director, and producer commented, “As we advance, 60 is the new 40, or 70 is the new 50. It keeps getting pushed. But you have to keep the stress down and the attitude hot,”
Angela was born in Harlem and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida. She has thirteen-year-old twins and has been married to actor Courtney Vance since 1997.
The accomplished Yale graduate earned an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe Award. Bassett. Ms. Bassett is known for her role as Tina Turner in the biopic What’s Love Got to Do With It (1993): Malcolm X and The Rosa Parks Story.
My first recollection of the powerhouse Bassett is from 1995’s Waiting to Exhale, where she played a woman surprised by a divorce. How about that closet scene? And, of course, her matron role in the superhero movie Black Panther.
