When Talented Actress (TA) decided to pack up and leave the country, her hopes were high that she would make it to the scene abroad. After all, she belongs to the few who could actually sing, dance, and act. Moreover, TA has exhibited professional behavior even at an early age, that is, she comes to the set prepared and having studied the script for the taping.
At work, TA means business, and her presence could sometimes make fellow actors feel inferior because they know that the embarrassment to be pitted with someone who is more prepared than them. While working with TA seems to be a dream, as everything will go smoothly because she follows instructions down to the letter and knows where to place herself, something is amiss in her career in the local scene. Thus, TA left and risked everything for an overseas career. Although absence is supposed to make the heart grow fonder, in the case of the fans of TA, they moved on and shifted support to other new faces that came after her.
Except for a few elite Filipino talents who made it abroad, TA was not among them. Despite going to auditions left and right and honing her skills, TA could not penetrate the international market she was once obsessed with. With no career direction and diminishing finances, returning to the country was the option she and her family humbly swallowed. Thus, TA is back at a time when her contemporaries have already lorded the industry, while some have faded away as well. The problem facing TA was where to start.
Using old contacts, TA managed to have several appearances in various entertainment shows. Her remaining fans regrouped, but TA could no longer bring back her prime. The reality is that TA was now just an ordinary talent, struggling to find a project. Lucky for TA, friends helped her stage a quiet comeback. In one of her guestings, TA specifically requested to have her own dressing room, which she claims was common courtesy abroad. When she arrived at the designated room, TA was shocked to see that she was sharing the room with two other personalities.
Upon seeing that her request was not considered, TA started going ballistic and did not care who heard her. She did not know that someone from the camp of the two other personalities was around. After a few minutes, one of the personalities arrived and calmly asked TA why they should leave the room. This reaction caught TA by surprise, as the personality was very calm and non-confrontational. TA had to retreat and started to apologize as well. She even said that she did not say anything about who should leave the room. TA had to be careful, as the celebrity in front of her was more famous and if TA made the wrong move, she might end up being bashed in social media. Finally, the production heard of what happened, and thus, they moved both to other rooms. However, things are not as simple as they seem, because the producers said that TA would hardly be invited to guest again in several shows of the network.
‘Beauty ought to look a little surprised: it is the emotion that best suits her face. The beauty who does not look surprised, who accepts her position as her due - she reminds us too much of a prima donna.’– E. M. Forster
