Veteran Actress Mama Rainbow Reveals Why She Vowed Never to Remarry After Husband's Death
Mama Rainbow, also known as Idowu Philip, shared in an interview with actress Bimpe Akintunde why she vowed never to remarry after her husband's sudden passing in 1984. The 83-year-old actress recounted an incident where a man who wanted to marry her left abruptly upon seeing her 11 children.
This experience led Mama Rainbow to decide against remarrying, a promise she has kept for decades. Despite losing her husband in 1984, Mama Rainbow raised her children on her own and began her acting career in the 1960s, appearing in numerous Yoruba and English language films.
She remains a respected figure in Nollywood, admired for her dedication to family, faith, and enduring presence in the entertainment industry.
