Sexy and A-lister Nollywood's screen diva, Kate Henshaw is a year older today Thursday, July 19, 2012. The Cross River state born actress clocks 41.

Kate, who is the oldest of four children, was born in 1971. She first studied in University of Calabar, where she did remedial studies for a year before proceeding to Lagos University Teaching Hospital to study Medical Microbiology at the School of Medical Lab Science.

She started her acting career in 'When The Sun Sets' in 1993. In 2008, she won the African Movie Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for the film 'Stronger than Pain'.

She is presently reported to be a single mother after her marriage crash to British-born Roderick James Nuttal. Their union produced a daughter named Ella. She is a face of Onga seasoning. She was once a Glo ambassador before being reportedly dropped by the telecoms giant.

Kate is gradually becoming a pronounced activist. During the Lekki Toll Gate saga in 2011, she was very visible in fighting for the cause. At January 2012 'Occupy Nigeria' protest, Kate was also vocal especially with her interview on a Lagos TV.

From Nigeriafilms.com, we say 'Happy Birthday' to Kate Henshaw.

Onome-Dublin Ireland | 7/19/2012 12:41:55 PM |
She only conceal her age with 2years difference.Of a truth, she is 43yearas not 41years. However, she should be applauded. My reason for asking you guys to applaud her is not far fetch.

The likes of Genevieve, Uche Jumbo,Halima Abubakar,Monaliza Chinda etc, has refuse to declared their real age.Furthermore, l see age as a number and aging is something we all must attained.

Nobody is born to remain young forever. So, age is a fact of life, there is certainly nothing, l mean nothing we can do about it!!!!!!!!!!!
Kate @ 41 "WOW"
cmr | 7/19/2012 7:13:49 AM
W ow! wow! ma sis, u look just too good @ 41.i laughed @ first when i saw it but it's obviously true, age is in numbers, u look 12, u just inspired me. live long, long, & long.have a blasts during commomeration, it's yo day!

For the first time I disagree with lalaland, I used to model with her in those days before stardom came and still in university she was born in 1971. She is a honest girl about that and her family. Take my word for it.

Lovely! you are so so right. I remember that episode plus back in 2004 when she was hosting the maggi kitchen or some sort of cooking show she was asked to tell the audience how she managed to stay so young at 40? This is 2012 and she is still 41
