While filming the movie 'One Night in Vegas', directed by John Uche, Yvonne Nelson displayed a high level of insubordination that literally brought the production to a halt. As portrayed by Washington Post, her attitude angered the Director who also reacted “No one can tell me what to do on my set; I’ve directed bigger actors than you.”
Washington
Post captured Yvonne’s unruly behaviour in a recent article that featured the
movie 'One Night in Vegas' – the movie, which starred Yvonne Nelson, Jimmy
Jean-Louis and John Dumelo among others was shot in the US.
Here
is a piece of the article;
A
drop-dead beautiful Ghanaian actress is yelling at the director. Her voice —
with that slightly British Ghanaian accent — echoes across the polished 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 am 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 Ghanaian musician turned movie maker, will lose investors’ money.
