Mrs. Nortey was an actress who played multi-character lead roles on Ghanaian television in the 1990s.

Among the films she starred in are: Sinking Sands, The Ties That Bind, Beasts of No Nation, Juju, My Own Mother, Escape To Love etc.

In 2020, she lamented the seeming neglect by movie directors and producers she worked with in the past.

She said veterans like her do not only want to hear from their contemporary actors but also from members of the backstage crew as well.

Speaking in Ga on Simply Showbiz show, Grace Nortey said: “All of sudden, no one asks of you, no one calls you, no visits, you are left home alone. This makes one unhappy sometimes. You are just left with you and your God.

“It is not about food or money, which you may have people to provide. It is for someone to also make you happy.”
