I'm not Angela but....
I'm not Angela B. but I'm a huge fan as well. I know she initially wanted to be an actress because she saw a stage play starring James Earl Jones and the emotions she felt during that play inspired her to make others feel those same emotions.
(If you get what I mean).
She also said that her principal and other adults around her pushed her to apply to Yale. Angela says, "I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent.
Its my calling...not my career.
And I appreciate it." I wrote plenty more over at Wikipedia:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angela_Bassett
There is also a blog for Angela Bassett fans, they post news/updates on her daily.
I hope I helped!
