June 13, (THEWILL)- Seasoned Nollywood actress, Clarion Chukwurah, is set to revive her acting career after a long absence from the lighted screen. The mother of talented video director and cinematographer, Clarence Peters, has been busy preparing for her return with lots of creative stylings, photo shoots and a new movie that is scheduled for release soon. Clarion, who will clock 57 soon, started acting in the 1980s.
With a maiden appearance in a popular soap opera titled Mirror in the Sun, it was clear that she was destined for a brighter future as one of the most talented actresses to ever emerge from this part of the world. The actress has won many awards to prove that she is one of the best in the movie world. One of the prestigious awards she has received include Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2014 Africa Movie Academy Awards. She is the first Nigerian to emerge Best Actress at the FESPACO Film Festival held in Burkina-Faso in 1982. Although she received other awards in the course of her career, she abandoned the movie sets when she became born again and decided to become an evangelist.
Clarion relocated to the United States with her third husband, Anthony Boyd and later became a Jehovah Witness. However, the allure of acting was too irresistible for the graduate of Acting and Speech from Obafemi Awolowo University, to ignore, which explains why she has decided to revive her acting career. On the side, it is rumoured that she may have dumped her third husband in order to reposition herself for a return to Nollywood. Her new film is entitled Beautiful People and it is produced by Uduak Isong.
