People sees actresses as prostitutes, not worthy of marriage and family – Actress Joke Lawal
The actress, who said this in an interview with Vanguard’s Potpourri, noted that many people think that actresses are prostitutes.
Lawal said;
“I would like to change people’s perception of actresses. A lot of people think of actresses as prostitutes, they see us as people who are not worthy of marriage and having a family.
“If I have the power this is something I will like to change. I will also like to see a change in the way our stories are written and interpreted, and in the quality of our film productions.
“Another thing I would like to change too is, how poorly actors are paid. As a producer, I will like a situation where I can pay every actor that works on my project even if the person acts in just one scene.
“As an upcoming actress, I acted in movies and didn’t get paid but because I was still new in the industry I didn’t have a choice.
“God help me, these are things I will like to change in the movie industry.”
