Cynthia Dimsdis, who has been featured in numerous films and produced for many years, is one of the very best known characters in Nigeria. Born as Cynthia Ezcelen Ezell, she is a product of Southern African culture and her first name is derived from the traditional Yoruba word that means “one who is born”. It is important to remember that just because someone is called Cynthia Dimsdis does not mean that they are necessarily of African heritage. Her original name was Kimberly Emile Dimsdis, but her middle name is certain. Over time, her career has taken her to many countries including England and Canada.
One of the major roles that Cynthia Dhimdis has played throughout the years is that of a love interest in many films including The Bodyguard, Cairo Station, and even a spin off of the successful Egypt mini-series, The Pharaoh’s Charming. As a result of her height and African American appearance, it has been popular for many to assume that she would only be seen as a love interest in Hollywood films and animated films. However, it appears that this is simply not the case. While films such as The Bodyguard have focused her attention on certain parts of the industry, it has often been her supporting role in other films where she has been given a leading role. It is through these roles that we see a woman who is equal parts strong and vulnerable as every other leading lady.
Cynthia Dimsdis is a beautiful woman. She has also played a nurse, a police officer, and a paralegal before becoming the leading character in her own film, The Bodyguard. It is her association with the African continent, however, that makes her one of the most well known characters in an already successful career. As a result of her height and African heritage, it has always been possible for the career that she has opened up to be open to all forms of ethnicity and nationalities. In fact, it seems that being of African descent has only made her successes that much sweeter.
