Veteran actress Auntie Bee, known for her role in the popular TV series ‘Efiewura,’ has recently spoken out about the challenges she has faced in her acting career. Despite spending over 40 years in the industry, Auntie Bee confesses that she has little to show for it in terms of personal wealth and properties.
In a candid interview, Auntie Bee revealed that acting was her sole career and passion, leading her to make sacrifices such as forgoing the opportunity to have children. She shared that she was fully committed to her work on set and did not explore other career options or learn additional skills, a decision that now weighs heavily on her.
With a sense of regret, Auntie Bee acknowledged that fame is the only tangible asset she has gained from her long tenure in the industry. She disclosed that even her first international travel opportunity did not come through acting, but rather through football. Most of the personal properties she possesses, including cars, were gifts from private individuals.
After the decline of the Kumawood industry, Auntie Bee admitted that she has had to resort to selling menial items to make a living. Reflecting on her journey, she advised aspiring actors to seek out side jobs to sustain themselves, emphasizing the importance of financial stability in the unpredictable world of showbiz.
