I finally looked her up on IMDb. I knew she was older but how the hell is she 63?!? She’s such an amazing actress and so beautiful!
My review of Angela‘s roles on AHS.
Marie Laveau 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Although billed as a recurring role, Angela was the spice to add to the soup of witchy actresses of Coven. The season without her? Unimaginable. The fierce characterization of Marie helped Coven to become a staple of excitement with villains like her and a certain depth to them. Whether she shared a scene with Jessica or Kathy she always set the standard high. It was like Ms. Bassett was born for this role. Suddenly voodoo witchcraft was cool again as she also showed in her short cameo for Apocalypse.
Desiree Dupree 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
For once a nice character who just wanted to feel loved (an ongoing theme of the season), Desiree had three breasts and an apparent ding-dong between her legs which wasn‘t all that afterwards. Such as was the surprise that she was one of the few last standing freaks. Her witty sense of humor, caring attitude and overall cattiness to those who deserved it were the special ingredients to another top role.
Ramona Royale 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Kinda sandwiched inbetween Hotel, Ramona was a woman of power and your go-to personality if you had a problem to deal with. Angela‘s shared scenes with Lady Gaga were stunning, yet not surprisingly something new as we learned prior to that, that the Countess was a lover of many sorts. Together with Donovan (and Iris kinda) she formed the deadly trio which had the intention to take the Countess down. This didn‘t quite work out in the end. Ramona was definitely not a weakling but rather a femme fatale. One you wouldn‘t want to cross paths with.
Lee Harris 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Depicting the real Lee, Angela was in police officer gear for part of the first half of Roanoke. She would later star in Ryan Murphy‘s show 9-1-1 as a similar type of character, just with a different name. Back to Roanoke, she was portraying the scapegoat Lee Harris who lost her job as a cop and had to deal with family problems. Angela was perfectly cast for that role, as her ongoing fights with Sarah Paulson‘s or Cuba Gooding Jr.‘s characters prove and we could further dive into the life of a mother who just wanted the best for her child no matter the obstacles she had to take. And Angela did once again a very great job at it.
Monet Tumusiime 🌟 🌟 🌟
The real actress behind Lee Harris was an alcoholic and the crazy sidekick to Audrey Tindall. She didn‘t feel much important to the "Return to Roanoke" nightmare that graced the second half of the season. While I think hadn‘t
... keep reading on reddit ➡Like dear god that would have been perfection. I just want Angela back so badly 😫
Am i the only one who wanted dennis ohare and angela Bassett in cult they would have been amazing with that theme ??
anybody else hoping that angela bassett makes an appearance in double feature? i rly liked her in coven, freakshow and hotel and it was cool to see her (extremely brief) return in apocalypse. it’d be cool if she had some sort of role in s10
