WASHINGTON POST WRITES ABOUT YVONNE NELSON'S BAD ATTITUDE ON SET OF 'NIGHT IN VEGAS'

A renowned American website, Washington Post, wrote an article about Nigerian/Ghanaian movies and stars, drawing attention to the bad attitude of Ghanaian sultry actress, Yvonne Nelson and how she acted bitchy diva on set of 'Night in Vegas'.

Here is what they wrote:

"A drop-dead beautiful Ghanaian actress is yelling at the director. Her voice - with that slightly British Ghanaian accent - echoes across the polish marble floors and bounces off the baby grand inside a Montgomery County mansion that has been turned into a movie set. Cameras have stopped rolling. Actors lean against the bay windows overlooking the swimming pool.

"I'm human!" shouts the movie star, Yvonne Nelson. "I can complain if i want to complain. I'm not a robot."

"No one can tell me what to do on my set!" warns the director, John Uche, a Nigerian who lives in Upper Marlboro. "I've directed bigger actors than you." The actress spins and storms up a circular staircase, retreating to her bedroom lair and halting production.

This could be a disaster for this Nollywood movie. Filming has to be completed in three weeks. If the star quits, thousands of dollars are down the tube. The other actors - some of the biggest names in Africa have flown in from Nigeria and Ghana - will have wasted a trip. And the producer, Koby Maxwell, an award winning Ghanian musician turned moviemaker, will lose investors' money.

Maxwell eyes the scene from the mansion's kitchen, where he is peeling green plantains to boil for the cast's dinner. Besides obtaining investors, writing the story, locking down actors and locations, and working with crew members on a major Nollywood production, he also has to cook supper.

As he rinses and slices, he tries not to show his worry. He has slept only two hours at a time in the past few weeks, worried about production, worried about accommodating actors, worried about filming on a shoestring budget. he cannot afford to lose this actress or this director. Everything is riding on "One Night in Vegas," a movie Maxwell hopes will raise the bar on Nollywood production values."
