Emmy nomination
Bassett is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie at the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards for portraying Marie Laveau on American Horror Story: Coven.
I felt so honored to have been asked to come aboard and play a woman whose mystique and influence continues to this day. It was a dream of a story, a hell of a role and then to top it off with Jessica and Kathy!
Hollywood Walk of Fame
Bassett is presented with her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the category of Motion Pictures. Friends Rick Fox, Laurence Fishburne, and Forest Whitaker attend the affair in support of Bassett.
Who would have thought that a little girl in pigtails from St. Petersburg, Florida, would grow up to find herself gazing at a star with her name on it, on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? This day is so, so special to me.
