We LOVE Angela Bassett. She is our number one girl-crush. We seriously sit around sometimes trying to think of ways to become her friend -- Follow her to the grocery store? Get on the treadmill next to hers at the gym? Show up at her door with cookies and hope for the best? We love her, and we couldn't be more excited that she joins the cast of ER for its final season this fall. Here's what she told TV Guide about her upcoming role:
"I'm the boss!" she all but bellows. "I'm the queen! I'm the chief of the ER! I come in, snap my fingers and tell everybody who's used to doing things in their old familiar ways what to do and how to do it. I tell 'em, 'It's my way or the highway!'"
Get it, girl. We'll be watching.
