Angela Bassett Loves Her iPhone

by Thomas Houston on March 27, 2008 at 12:14 PM



Angela Bassett has worked in theater and television, but her career so far has been best defined by her work in film. In the early '90s, she found roles in 'Boyz 'N The Hood' and 'Malcolm X,' and soon gave an Academy Award-nominated performance for her portrayal of Tina Turner in Tina Turner in 'What's Love Got to Do With It.'

Angela also starred in 'Waiting to Exhale' and 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back,' and she's worked with the likes of Whitney Houston, Spike Lee, Forest Whitaker and countless others. Her newest film, 'Meet the Browns,' finds her playing a single mom returning to Georgia for her father's funeral, and she meets the rest of her family for the first time.

Angela took time from her busy schedule -- she also helps out in the community and is an Ambassador for UNICEF -- and talked to us about technology for the Switched Questionnaire.
