Marriage has made me a better person –Darlene Benson

Darlene

Darlene Benson Cobham is one of the actresses who have been able to become successful and celebrated in Nollywood. She however seems to be keeping a low profile nowadays and she told OSEYIZA OOGBODO BLOG why it seems so.

Why did you become an actress?

Well, I’ve always loved acting. As a child, I always pictured myself singing and acting, so I went ahead to study theatre arts and I obtained a diploma from the University of Calabar and my degree from the University of Lagos. I actually started out as a singer before I got into acting. I had already done two demo tapes, various jingles and backup vocals in the studio in the 90s before I got my first acting job. Also, I was performing on stage in UniCal for various school shows back then. So it was easy for me to decide to take it as a profession as well.

Have you achieved the goals you set for yourself?
