Biography
Smart, sexy and resourceful, Crystabel Goddy is one of Nigeria’s fastest rising actresses. Behind her petite frame lies a truly strong and vivacious character with a great passion for film, theatre and television. A graduate of Applied Geophysics from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Crystabel worked in different capacities in the oil and gas industry, and then went on to acquire a Diploma in Acting from the New York Film Academy, kick-starting her career as a thespian. She landed her first movie role in 2016 as the lead female actor in Abba Makama’s feature film, Green White Green. The movie was a hit, and projected her onto the international market, as it won the ‘Best Nigerian Film’ at the African International Film festival. Green White Green was aired on screens around the globe, and is currently on Netflix. Following her scintillating performance in the satirical comedy, the versatile actress bagged another major role in Idemuza – an intense drama – where she played the lead character, Idemuza, alongside greats like Femi Durojaiye and Gloria Young. The Aloaye Omoake-directed film was also a success, earning four nominations at the Africa Magic Viewer's Choice Award. Since then, Crystabel has starred in several other award-wining local productions and international projects, including Nigerian Prince, Prueba, Damaged, Power Of One, The Lost Okoroshi, Daddy's Girls, Behind the Smile, Before Before, Lucy, and many more. She continues to demonstrate her acting dexterity with exciting new works underway. An exemplar of enterprise and diligence, Crystabel’s body of work extends beyond film. She is a professional model who has graced runways and featured in a number of commercials – from telecommunication to hair brands. She is also a pageant queen (Beauty of Africa, Maiden Queen; Miss Amnesty, Winner; Miss Garden City, Second Runner-Up). Crystabel is naturally self-motivated…but she also cites her mother as “a great source of inspiration”. Like Maya Angelou – renowned American poet and author – the relentless go-getter believes: “Nothing will work unless you do!” When she’s not on movie sets or attending fashion and art shows, she enjoys reading, playing board games and singing karaoke.
