Bassett is 63 but looks 36.

Academy Award-nominated actress Angela Bassett celebrated her 63rd birthday on Aug. 16, according to Essence. The magazine celebrated the actress with several Essence covers Bassett graced over the years, proving that Black don’t crack.

To say Bassett looks the same age on the last cover as the first would definitely be an understatement. The 9-1-1 actress looks more like she just turned 36 instead of 63.

a production company together called Bassett Vance Productions.

The actress had small roles on Spencer For Hire and The Cosby Show before being cast in 1993 as Tina Turner in What’s Love Got To Do With It. Bassett was nominated for an Oscar for the role and won a Golden Globe for Best Actress

Bassett has starred in numerous films, including her Academy Award-nominated performance in What’s Love Got To Do With It and

How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Boys In The Hood, Mission Impossible: Fallout Olympus Has Fallen, Waiting to Exhale and Black Panther.

In addition to being a huge movie star, Bassett is also one of the highest-paid women on network television. Her starring role on 9-1-1 earns the actress $450,000 per episode, Vanity Fair reported.

Bassett and Vance have two children, twins Bronwyn Golden and Slater Josiah.

Happy Birthday, Queen!
