Old Lady!!!???

Question:I am doing a project about the play, "A Raisin in the Sun." We have to find actors and actresses that would fit the roles of the characters. Do any of you have an idea about who could fit the role of Mama? She is around 65, and African-American. If you have any ideas, please comment!! Thanks! :)

Whoopie Goldberg, Angela Bassett, Mo'Nique, lots of women come to mind, the actress doesn't have to be 65 years old herself, that is why they are actresses, they can play the part and act 65.
