Pretty,sexy and multi-talented.Rita Dominic Waturuocha needs no introduction in the Nigerian movie industry.She is one star actress whose profile has been on the rise since she was lured into Nollywood by top actor-cum comedian, Basorge Tariah in 1998. And since then, Rita, as she is fondly called by her fans,has been an indomitable figure in Nollywood with her explosive performances in Nigerian home movies.Born in Abiah Mbaise Local Government of Imo State,the 30something year-old Theatre Arts graduate of University of Port Hacourt is blessed with stunning and attractive look.

Reserved and shy,it was in the news early last year that she was about getting married to the younger brother of Lanre Shittu,a prominent business man and car dealer.When asked to comment on it,Rita would rather keep mum;“I don’t want to talk about my private life. And for the marriage rumour, “there was nothing of such".She has acted in over 70 home movies,she is nonetheless excited about her role in the on going stage play - Vagina Monologues being sponsored by Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND), a non-governmental organisation.

She started acting when she was six and continued when she was in secondary school. Being a professional actress is not accidental because she studied theatre Arts at the University of Port Harcourt and after that she came into Nollywood to act.Acting is something she has always had a passion for.So,if people are giving her accolades that she is doing well,it shows that hardwork has paid off.She never came out that I wanted to be a star because it is not something that you come and say.She has a passion for acting first and put in her best and whatever happens from there she take it.

She left the industry at one point and relocated to London.She came back in 2003 for a brief holiday and started acting again. She does nothing else apart from acting.She claimed she is an actor and an actor will always be an actor.She had starred in between 75 to 80 movies.Acting has deny her privacy and it hindered creatively in terms of resources and piracy.It gets to a point that she tell herself this is serious business and ignore whatever people are writing about her.She had to find a way to get it out of her mind and be focused and that is what she had done over the past years.People don't talk about you when nothing is happening in your life.When my privacy is invaded I snap out of it,forge on with my work and remain focused.

Marriage is not in her dictionary right now for personal reasons.It is not that she doesnt want to get married but she prefer to be an old bride.Funny enough everybody in her family is married.Her parents were happily married before their death.For her,marriage is good but just not psychologically ready for now.e don't care about what people think and people should know that whatever we are acting on television is make-believe and just trying to educate people about the society they are.When she is getting marrie,she is getting married for myself and not for what people say. She is doing it to make herself happy.

Her ideal man have to be like her.A man that shares views about life,a hardworking man,a man who appreciates strong family values,a Christian.She is a very deep thinker and need someone who can challenge her in terms of depth and discussion.She is just comfortable and okay and thank and bless God for each day that comes and goes.At least she don't beg for food on the streets.She debunked the rumour that she is arrogant or proud.She claimed she is not a snub,she has a certain aura that when people see her they believe even without saying anything to her that she is already a snub.She says she is a polite person because she was brought up properly from a proper family.She was brought up to respect my elders and exchange greetings with people but If you show her an attitude I will show you back.

She has never been harrassed in Nollywood but she knows it is there.She know such things do occur but the truth of the matter is whoever demands for that before giving you a role,you have to ask yourself 'do I have the talent? If you don't have the talent and you have sex from now till tomorrow, you are just wasting your time because they won't give you a job.Yes,Sexual harassment does happen and it is there because she have heard one or two complaints from girls but another thing is that you can’t really come out and criticize them because they are adults.
