She is one of the most prolific entertainers in the industry and now, Angela Bassett has her own Madame Tussaud wax figure. The beloved actress has starred in films and television shows like Waiting To Exhale, American Horror Story, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, What's Love Got To With It, Black Panther, Malcolm X, The Rosa Parks Story, The Jacksons: An America Dream, and dozens of other features.
Bassett is an award-winning celebrated actress, and her fans were floored to see just what Madame Tussaud's came up with.
