Angela Bassett Shares Favorite Memories With ‘Amazing’ & ‘Generous’ Tina Turner (EXCLUSIVE)

Angela Bassett famously portrayed the late Tina Turner in “What’s Love Got To Do With It.” While at the 2023 Tribeca Festival celebrating 25 years of “How Stella Got Her Groove Back,” the star exclusively spoke to Access Hollywood and shared her memories with Tina. “She was amazing – [one of] the most generous, kind, light-hearted individuals that I’ve ever met, and she looked nothing or behaved in no way like what she had gone through,” she said. Angela also recalled her favorite memories with Tina on set: “She would come to the rehearsal space, and we would sit down, and she would go through her photo album and show me those old pictures, and she would advocate for me during [rehearsals],” she shared in part.
