Yeah, got a couple of those characters in my screenplay.
Conflicting advice from screenplay "how-to" authors. One fellow says to avoid these cliche's and instead, to describe the character and another says to use that phrase because it is flattering to an actress, and everyone knows that actresses have big egos and therefore will want to be in the character in your script.
I've taken a different approach and just let the director make the decision based on the context of the story.
Your take?
