Why Hollywood treats Angela Bassett like she's a B or C list star actress?

I've noticed that nobody offering her a leading role in any movies or tv series like (Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Hulu, Amazon Prime) like she used to in 90s but all of a sudden she's on whack ass NBC's tv show called "911" where she plays a police. She was supposed to be on the same level as Meryle Streep. You know damn well nobody gonna offers Meryle a role on NBC's tv series.

Angela deserves better than that.
What's the standard for who is A list and why do you think she fits it?

She's doing it well. exec producer and starring in the show that's has 4 seasons under its belt that and they now have a spin off show as well which she also is a an exec on.

She gets a few seasons of the show going and gets it into syndication she's laughing from the residuals.

60+ yo female actresses take what they are given, especially Black women. How many roles in Hollywood you think they're gonna write for a Black woman over 60?


Kathy Bates was out there on Two-and-a-Half Men, Sally Field and Susan Surandon did all sorts of random TV shyt.

She 62 yrs old starring on major network show. Why is this a thread. She has worked constantly. Wtf

She has also done this without playing the old mother roles that most her age play... she is loved in Hollywood. I aint even talking for a black person. She is loved period by execs
