Veteran Ghanaian actress Grace Nortey has advised all actors to have at
least some formal education in the acting business before involving
themselves full time.
She expressed her concern about how “some people” are gradually
undermining the noble profession with the perception that there is no
need for a formal education.
According to her, “acting is a bit easier and lucrative, but it is not
something one could do for the rest of her life. Acting is seasoned, for
about ten to fifteen years one will still not be the strong person as
she used to be”.
Grace Nortey disclosed this in an interview with Selasie Ibrahim on
‘Smart People’ on GTV while describing how some actors become hopeless
and jobless when they stop acting.
She explained that acting can be a hobby but one needs formal education
for a better experience. She added,“you cannot get up one day and say I
am a star. It’s impossible”.
She used the opportunity to advise women in the movie industry to work hard and respect themselves.
The veteran actress also advised that those who are married should
discuss the scripts they get with their husbands. “Whatever roles you
are going to play, let your husband know. Tell your husband the whole
show”, she added.
Grace Nortey, who has been off the scene for a while now, said old age
and ill-health have caught up with her and they have slowed her down.
