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.
