Winner of the 2011 Next Movie Star reality television show, Tamara Eteimo, has hit the ground running with her burgeoning acting career.
The Theatre Arts graduate of the University of Port Harcourt has been cast as the lead character in Dormitory 8, a situation comedy series revolving around the day to day existence of eight undergraduates of fictional Ecowas University. In the new season of the soap, Tamara plays the role of Ibinabo, a cunning, spiteful, egoistic, pretentious and avaricious student who relies on men for her needs.
According to Tamara, “Acting a bitchy, thieving girl was really very tough because those were qualities I do not possess ordinarily. I grew up with very strict, religious parents.
However, I had to shed my natural toga of a good girl to adorn the garb the producers wanted me to adorn. It was tough but I’m sure I gave it my best shot considering the accolades the director heaped on me.”
