Angela Bassett is being celebrated for her meaningful contribution to art with her inclusion in Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2023. Tina Turner, who worked with Bassett in her 1993 biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, paid homage to her in her celebratory blurb and recalled how the budding film star had strength, determination and big dreams. Turner credited Bassett for turning the role into her own, rather than attempting to replicate the music icon.
Time's list also includes Beyonce, who has been featured on the list before, and this time was celebrated with an excerpt by DJ, producer and electronic musician Honey Dijon, who wrote about her performance of Crazy In Love at the 2003 BET Awards. WNBA alum Sue Bird shared her admiration for Brittney Griner's resilience and Black Panther director Ryan Coogler applauded Michael B. Jordan's successful directorial debut in Creed III.
Time's 100 list is an acclaimed platform to celebrate influential people across various fields, and the 2023 list included Doja Cat, Rowvaughn Wells, Steve Lacy, and Hakeem Jeffries, among many more.
