Amah revealed during the interview that the lack of respect stems from the fact that the new actors found it far easier to start up their careers than her set did in their time.

 

Speaking with News Watch, Amah said:

“They are favoured because what we went through during my time is certainly not what they are going through now. These days, someone could just walk into a location and act or a producer could just see somebody on the road and call her to come and feature in a movie and before you know what is happening, he or she becomes popular and eventually becomes a celebrity or star as you journalist always say.

“Most of these young actors don’t know how to say hello to their seniors and when the seniors take the pains to say hello to them, they arrogantly snub you.

“A lot of them don’t have respect for elders in the industry.”

 

The actress made it clear that she expects respect from them, while accusing most of them of being snubs.

The actress was made famous for movies such as  "Elastic Limit," "Last Wedding," "Day of Atonement," among others.
