Remember Grace Nortey? Check out her current status

Grace Nortey, a Veteran Ghanaian actress, has contributed immensely to the Ghanaian movie industry will forever be remembered for that.

Auntie Grace’s role in the Ghanaian movies in the 90s was the most sought after as her acting was seen as being so real. She was known for either being a mean mother-in-law, diabolic family member, a cunning friend, or an unforgiving woman in most of the movies she featured in. In fact, because of how she used to act so real, some special roles were dedicated to her only.

She was an English-speaking actress and prefers to speak English even when the movie is in an Akan language. She used to act in movies of Miracle films and Harry Laud at the early stages of her acting career, and at the later stages of her acting, she got featured in Netflix’s 2015 Beast of No Nation which also featured Abraham Attah.

She also acted in several high-end movies including Sinking sand, Ties That Bind, P over D, Juju, My Own Mother, Escape to love, and My Sister’s Honor.

One then may ask, is Grace Nortey now a rich veteran actress looking at all these massive acting roles she’s had?

Well, the movie industry in Ghana gives no life insurance not to even talk about Social security to actors and actresses. We have witnessed countless actors and actresses in this country who died poor or are still living as beggers.

For Grace Nortey our checks confirm that she is still alive and healthy but battling with sight problem. She is now 80 years old and so sight issues are bound to befall her.

When celebrating her 80th birthday, she appealed to her collleagues in the industry to make it a routine in visiting her as she feel negleted .

She also appealed to Ghanains to support her with money to help her take care of the hospital bills.
