One of Nigerian most celebrated veteran actor, Taiwo Ajai-Lycett, sure has a lot to tell the world about her journey to the make-believe world of Nollwood and Hollywood which she has both tasted.
Not having a rosy start to life during her youthful days, the actress was able to subject herself to the life of a waiter during the day and still able to manage herself through academics at night which paid off along the line.
Since returning to the country in 1971, the actress has continued to make a name for herself as time progresses and currently on popular soap opera, Tinsel, which she is so excited about.
Recalling her love life with her late husband, Thomas Lycett, the actress disclosed that she so much loved her husband because he was an understanding and caring man.
She revealed that on the day of her wedding, she was still busy on set that after the wedding, in the afternoon she had to rush back to stage the same night.

In her words, “I liked Tom, in fact I loved him. I was very busy at that time and did not want any complication of a relationship. In fact when we got married, I was on tour at the time. After wedding in the afternoon, I was back on stage that same night. By that time, he had bought us a flat, which he had decorated very tastefully.
“So when I finished the tour, I joined him in our new home. He was very romantic, very unorthodox and very special. Our relationship was very special; it was a union of minds. It wasn’t about sex, yes that was glorious later on, but what we shared was special. It was him who told me that I had to give up working in the civil service and concentrate on my acting,” she told New Telegraph.
