Angela Bassett, 59 and looking gorgeous, outshines all of her younger Mission Impossible co-stars

Damn. How does she do it? She looks amazing. I can't believe she is twice the age of some of these women.

What about Monaghan? She looks terrific, too.

She lifts weights. That keeps you muscular and triggers natural HGH release.

She has always been fabulous. Love her!

She's also never had kids. Not having the added stress of raising kids probably helps her stay good looking too.

Wrong. Bassett has twins. Although she did not give birth to them (they were carried by a surrogate after she struggled for years to conceive and carry to term), she has definitely raised them with spouse Courtney Vance.

R8 not carrying the kids probably really helped her with staying in shape for the long run.

Who’s the squinty woman in the bad blue frilly frock? She could be the new Zellweger!

Cruise looks so weird now - his funny little face all botixed and filled and stretched - little pillow face! I can’t see how anyone finds him attractive now. So weird.

The others look very average - ‘cept Bassett - who indeed is divine.

Wasn't Michelle in the first year of True Detective? Her hair and that dress did her in. Where were her people? Good grief she is too tall for Cruise.

Standing next to Basset's effortless beauty makes Tammy look even more bizarre by comparison.

I truly loved Bassett in Strange Days. I wouldn't say she's the best actor out there since she tends to go overact and doesn't seem natural. But she's got a great screen presence and looks gorgeous.

Cuba Good Jr. pointed out that Angela played his mother, Reva, in Boys in the Hood and then 25 years later she played his sister on American Horror Story.

She has had an incredible career. It's also says a lot that she and her husband, Courtney B Vance have been married a little over 20 years and they both still continue to work regularly.

People with darker skin just don't age the same as people who don't have it R29.

Halle Berry at 51 in 2018 is a great example. Viola Davis is 52. Gabrielle Union is 45. Loretta Devine has looked the same for the past 30 years and she is 68. Even Alfre Woodard looks great for 65.

She's great and she looks amazing in general, but that outfit is all sorts of wrong when you look at it closely. It's a size or two too small and it's choking the life out of her tits.

She’s not ugly and she looks great for her age but she’s not “beautiful” unless you mean “jolie laide” or whatever.

That's not entirely her doing. Overact? No. Campy? Everyone is! Or did you miss the season where Kathy Bates ran around with a Butcher's Axe killing people since she was possessed by the reincarnated spirit of a dead settler woman? Or Sarah Paulson playing conjoined twins who wanted to get banged?

each and everyone on that MI red carpet is dressed atrociously: couldn't they afford stylists? They look just out of a gipsy wedding.

by Anonymousreply 40July 15, 2018 12:31 PM

She has had some work done. Look at her eyebrows and eyes. Black women do get work done on their face. She looks great but she has had some very subtle work. Blacks can crack. I am black and I know some middle-aged black women who have aged prematurely.

No she hasn't R41 and they do but that's rare.

I am black too and I know middle-aged black women who have aged prematurely but they're usually the light skinned ones like Jasmine Guy.

I'm sorry you had that experience. I'm sure you are still beautiful.

Who is the random woman beside Angela Bassett? Is she even in the movie?

She should guest star on "Pose," since she's part of the Ryan Murphy-verse.

How do you know 44 that she has not had work done. She has had work done. It is very subtle especially around the eyes.

by Anonymousreply 48July 15, 2018 6:25 PM

Not really poster 44. The black women I know who have aged prematurely are dark skinned black women. Some had gray hair in their early thirties and they look worst for wear now in their fifties. Black women can age prematurely.

I am black but never much a fan of Angela, until BP and now this. She was all angles and attitude in Stella Got Her Groove Back, Waiting to Exhale and the Tina Turner movie. Sexy and deep, but not beautiful or real. So I see her now as our queen and the boss. I think she is the best looking 60 year old woman in the world. So fucking gorgeous and full of power and joy. She married a gay man - fellow actor, same race, they go to church, adopted their kids. This is not a bad life plan for privileged black folk. 2018 is the year of Angela Bassett. She had a full face lift and that's one reason why she looks so beautiful - because it's still her.

by Anonymousreply 58July 29, 2018 6:14 AM

^exactly, i like her not just because she looks fucking beautiful, she also looks like a woman who actually enjoys life, who eats and laughs.
