Yvonne Nelson, a well-known Ghanaian actress, has made an astonishing admission about her travels in Nigeria, and how they produced greater results than her acting career in Ghana.
In her autobiography, “I am not Yvonne Nelson,” Yvonne claims that simply attending a birthday celebration in Nigeria earned her more than acting in Ghana.
“There were people who held parties and were prepared to pay you to attend just to enhance their status or show their class, the array of celebrities that attended someone’s party showed who they were and being present at someone’s birthday or some other celebratory event sometimes paid me more than acting in a movie in Ghana,” she wrote.
Yvonne admits to having had some issues with her group of acquaintances. While they would urge her to remain out late, she said that they would have a nice night’s sleep in the morning while she had to get up early for a shoot.
“What made life difficult was the pressure from my circle of friends, some of whom wanted to hang out with me at times I was too tired to party. I often worked deep into the night, and when I was burned out, some friends would want to hang out with me at nightclubs. Some of them would still be sleeping the following morning when I had to wash down and start shooting,” she added.
