Top actress Genevieve Nnaji made the Elle Magazine's
International Superstars -Next Big Crossover Acts list.
According to the report, Genevieve is one of the most
powerful actresses in Africa and is created for putting
Nollywood, Nigeria’s Hollywood on the map.
Excerpts from the magazine:
“One of the most powerful actresses working in Africa, Nnaji
began her career at age eight, and has been constantly
working in commercials and movies ever since. She's credited
with putting Nollywood, Nigeria's Hollywood, on the map. In
2005 she was awarded Best Actress at the inaugural African
Movie Academy Awards (AMAA), and used her fame to launch
her clothing line, St. Genevieve, in 2008 with the proceeds
from sales supporting orphanages. And she has the Oprah seal
of approval—in 2009 Nnaji was profiled on an episode of
The Oprah Winfrey Show, with the host referring to her as
one of the most popular people around the world and the
"Julia Roberts of Africa."
The list also features former Miss World and Bollywood actress
Aishwarya Rai, English singer Pixie Lott and Mexican pop star
Anahi.
