Award-winning actress Angela Bassett reveals her second wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando

Florida native Angela Bassett has checked out her second wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando, calling it "Absolutely Wonderful."

Award-winning actress and Floridian Angela Bassett has had a close-up with her second wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando, located at ICON Park on International Drive.

The unveiling comes nearly four years after Bassett unveiled her first Madame Tussauds wax figure at the museum’s Los Angeles location.

For Bassett’s most recent figure, she’s dressed in a black and gold jumpsuit while strutting a pose similar to the first statue. The outfit was worn by Bassett when she attended ‘The Book of Clarence’ premiere last January.

“They got it right, it’s just beautiful,” said Bassett of the wax figure, which was brought to life after 200 measurements and reference photos, as well as her meetings with the creative team at Madame Tussauds. “To have a career that has brought me two wax figures at Madame Tussauds is kind of humbling,” she continued, noting it made her proud to have a figure in Orlando.

Madame Tussauds Orlando general manager Paul Gould thanked Bassett for the way that the wax figure turned out which he says was due to her involvement in the project.

“That level of involvement always makes the figure even more lifelike and personal and we can't wait for guests to experience Angela’s vision of how she wanted to be represented,” Gould commented.

“Angela was hands-on throughout the process, from selecting the perfect look to reviewing early details of the figure,” he said.
