Veteran Ghanaian actress, Grace Nortey has said she still has her acting prowess intact.

The 82 year old actress in a recent interview with Graphic Showbiz indicated that she will still able to play minor roles if given the chance.

She explained that she struggles with reading these days due to problems with her eyesight hence will prefer shorter scripts that won't demand a lot of reading.

“When the role is not too demanding and I don’t have to read long scripts, I can manage to do it without too much of a problem,” she said

“The few productions I have done in recent times were in Ga so I didn’t have to bother about scripts. My problem is with my eyes so I am unable to read scripts especially if I have so many lines. I would rather settle for something where I will be given the scenario so I can paraphrase,” she added.

According to the veteran actress, she was recently on set with Adjetey Anang and she had so much fun, “we worked on something quite recently and it was lots of fun, I enjoyed working with Adjetey and other young actors.”

For Grace Nortey, one reason why she still loves to act is because it kills her boredom, “When I am at home, I usually would eat and the next thing is let me lie down for a while.

“I lie down for a while, wake up and in the next hour or two, the urge to lie down comes back so it’s different when I am out there working,” she said.

Grace Nortey lost her husband some years ago and all her children are married with most of them outside the country including her actress daughter Sheila Nortey who is currently in the USA.

She started her acting career some five decades ago and has acted in countless movies with the likes of the late MacJordan Amartey, Fred Amugi, Victor Lutterodt, Grace Omaboe, the late George B.Williams, David Dontoh among others.
