We’re wishing Nigerian veteran actress Idowu Philips, popularly known as Iya Rainbow a happy birthday today (born 16 October 1942). She worked as a certified nurse in general hospitals in Nigeria for several years and occasionally acted in theatre. She ventured into full-time acting after the death of her husband – Augustine Ayanfemi Phillips (who worked closely with the late patriarch of Nigerian Film Industry Sir Herbert Ogunde. She has featured in several Nigerian films, including Apaadi, Eru, and Aje ni iya mi among others. She has five children.
