Veteran actress Doris Sackitey resurfaces

Meanwhile, Veteran actress Doris Sackitey also resurfaced recently after a long absence from Ghana's movie scene.

Sackitey was one of the most sought-after actresses of the 2000s, where she featured in many movies, including Tentacle, where she played a role alongside award-winning stars such as Nana Ama McBrown.

After many years of going into what many might describe as exile, the veteran actress made a rare appearance on UTV's U Cook on Saturday, May 9, 2026.

During the interview with the host, Empress Gifty, Doris Sackitey gave fans a glimpse into her current condition.

She said she would not mind featuring in a movie, provided the storyline is good, if the opportunity presented itself, and stated that she had faced some personal challenges.

"I am currently not working; I’m just matching time with time and being relevant where I can. My energy is not as vibrant as before. I get tired easily, and I had a little health issue. But if I’m asked to act, it will depend on the storyline and how much I’ll be paid," she said.
