'I'll investigate sex scandals
when pretty,up-and-coming actress Cynthia Tima Yeboah finishes her journalism education at Jayee University college in Accra, there is one thing that she would do.
she would use her pen,which is said to be mightier than the sword, to address some of the pertinent issues that has bedeviled acting and the film industry in the country and brought some actresses, 'bad names.'
At best, she would delve into investigative journalism and try to find answers to some of to some of the unfounded claims that make some film producers in the country appear as if they are pimps who trade roles for sex.
"Many people are against acting for the fact that you've to sleep with movie directors and producers before you given a role,"she said, adding that, "this could be true or false, but since no-one has been bold enough to come and say he or she has been a victim of such sexual advances by producers, some people take it and believe that you'll have to sleep with a director before you act."
"it has never happened to me, but i think it's an issue worth investigating one day so that we see the truth and save actresses from being seen as prostitutes and all that,"she noted.
Cynthia told spectator agoro on Monday that it was wrong for any person to assume that actresses are of the same character as the roles they are given in films.
"If I'm for instance given a role as a prostitute in a film, that doesn't mean i'm or could indeed be a prostitute; no!" she said ,explaining that most often than not, some movie fans have misjudged actresses based on their roles in some films.
"those are just roles and have nothing to do with us," Cynthia quipped and advised actresses to be wary of the way they sometimes dress half-naked for outings,"because this could also be the reasons why people say whatever they say about us".
Cynthia simply loves, sleeps, eats and wears acting. she has thus featured in many local done in both Twi and English, such as Asem Asa,Owuo Safoa,The Supremo, Kyeiwa University,Madam Moke and Obra Akwantuo, among others.
