Patti Boulaye
Patti Boulaye (born Patricia Ngozi Ebigwei, 3 May 1954) is a British-Nigerian singer, actress and artist who rose to prominence after winning ''New Faces'' in 1978, and was among the leading black British entertainers in the 1970s and 1980s. In her native Nigeria, she is best remembered for starring in Lux commercials, and ''The Patti Boulaye Show''.〔(Patti Boulaye Bio )〕
==Early life==
Boulaye was born after her mother went into labour in a taxi that was passing through two towns in Mid-Western Nigeria, and was raised in a strict Catholic household with nine children, including airline pilot Tony Ebigwei who was killed the Nigerian Airways plane crash of 1978.〔('My brother had died in 1978. Now here he was, walking towards me' )〕 As a teenager, Boulaye survived the Biafran war, and attributes this to her strong faith. At sixteen, she left Nigeria for the United Kingdom〔(Allmusic )〕 where she decided to become a nun, but during a sight-seeing trip in London, Boulaye stood in a queue for what she assumed was Madame Tussauds, but turned out to be an audition for the original London production of ''Hair'', and soon won a part which launched her career in musicals. Her father, who did not approve of showbusiness disowned his daughter, but later forgave her.〔(was wrongly quoted as saying-god-took-away-my-career—with-a-lot-of-help-from-the-tories-403208.html Interview with ''The Independent''. )〕
