Getting Attention

One of the networks chose to build up this young performer (P) as its prime star. P was given the lead in highly-publicized TV projects with the best casts the network can afford. Even if P had drama assignments, she still did comedy and hosting jobs for the network. Even if her shows did not do well, P still kept her privileged position. She felt she was the princess of the network and she behaved like one.

Other than the “princess” attitude getting into her head, P has a reputation of seeking attention and wanting to be the center of events. If she does not like who she’s working with, P makes it a point to let that person feel her discomfort. For instance, a staff was handing her an invitation. While the staff stood in front of her, she asked a barrage of questions, such as if she really needed that invitation for her entry to the event. In the end, P embarrassed the staff, whose job was merely to deliver the invitation.

While working on a soap, P often arrived late on the set. When asked why she was late, she said rudely that she went to a coffee shop first. Then, she would take her time before stepping out of her car as she still had to put on make-up. The lack of professionalism on P’s part did not escape the attention of a respected actress (RA), who played a significant role in the said soap. What infuriated RA was the fact that P made them wait for two hours on the set. RA gave P a mouthful and ranted that she (P) was just a newcomer who had no right to make anyone wait and that she should learn respect. The incident with RA rattled P to a point that she was uncomfortable on the set. Worse, she wanted her character to be killed off, which was quite impossible because she was playing the lead role.

Do you know who P and RA are? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
