Production people are the first witnesses to the kindness, rudeness, and idiosyncrasies of celebrities. Although sometimes prod people are treated as robots, they do the best to make sure the celebrities look excellent in front of the camera. Hence, expectations are high for the work people behind the scenes do. For instance, bad script and bad direction could spell doom for a teleseryes. With high-tech television that allows viewers to see clearly until each pore on the face, makeup artists and wardrobe personnel have to get their act together to make sure that celebrities look good on screen.

One time, a group of production people were having an informal gathering and they smiled at each other as they realized they were talking about the Same Actress (SA) when they were sharing their experiences. While SA seems to project every ounce of professionalism on cam and during her ambush interviews, she can be the headache of the production team.

When SA was doing several projects with a Big Network (BN), the makeup team assigned to her had their own share of encounters. As the makeup team still has several artists to fix, they wanted everyone to be prepared a number of minutes ahead of the time the assistant director calls them for taping. Being senior, SA would be preferred to be done first by the team. Unfortunately, SA would not stand from where she was resting and ignore the calls of the team. Then, when the time for the actual taping would start, SA would then ask the makeup team to hurry up with their makeup. What the team found irritating is that all the time, SA would just have her fingers slide up and down on her tablet.

In another anecdote, someone saw that SA was bawling in one corner of the set. The reason as to why SA was crying was a puzzle. The production personnel was too afraid to ask SA what was wrong, as SA has a tendency to snub others, if not reprimand him/her.

Despite the odd attitude exhibited by SA, she is among the consistent actresses in local television and movies. Her many years in the industry as well as her challenging personal life have honed her talents and enabled her to gain recognition.

“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It's not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.” ― Conan O'Brien
