Stunning Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw clocked 41 on Thursday, July 19, 2012.
Henshaw, who is the first-born of the family, was born in Cross River state, with her educational background rooted both in Lagos and Calabar.
The trained microbiologist made her acting debut in the 1996 action-thriller ‘Silent Night’ after working behind-the-scenes for some time. She has stayed relevant through the years, shuttling between movie sets and theatres for live plays.
Featured in over 70 movies, she won the AMAA for ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ in 1998.
The actress has received lots of messages from friends and well-wishers who reached out through different platforms.
‘Happy b.day to my big bro @MrOluMaintain and Sis @kdgr8 God bless you two! Have a ball!!! #Mbok’, said STV presenter Yvonne ‘Vixen’ Ekwere via micro-blogging site Twitter.
‘Happy birthday to Kate Henshaw @kdgr8. No wonder July is so bright’, comedian Bovi tweeted.
‘Happy birthday Kate the great!’, Darey wrote.
Overwhelmed with the messages, she tweeted back ‘To everyone who has shown me love, sorry if I cannot respond 2 all! Be sure of one thing, I love you all! Without you, there would be no me!’.
Recently separated from her husband, the actress has one child, a daughter named Ella Nutall.
