Genevieve Nnaji was featured in Elle
Magazine's International Superstars: The
Next Big Crossover Acts list which was
published online yesterday Wednesday
August 21.
Below is what the fashion and lifestyle
magazine wrote about Ms Nnaji:
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.
