several Nollywood movies in the the 1990s and early 2000s, reaching a

Benson started acting when she was a kid, Her journey to stardom began
when she appeared on the set of the popular television soap opera,
Fortunes in 1993. Liz Benson played the part of Mrs. Agnes Johnson in
the soap, which ran for about two years on the Nigerian Television
Authority network. In 1994, her role in Glamour Girls, a very successful
home video film that focused on the theme of prostitution, literally
changed her fortune after Fortunes. The movie shot her into prominence
and gradually she warmed her way into the minds of millions of Nigerian
movie fans. Surprisingly, just when her rating as a leading actress had
begun to rise even higher than expected, Benson suddenly quit acting in
1996. She recently starred in Mummy Dearest; but we will love to see
more of her.
