Well if you mean:
a vain or undisciplined person who finds it difficult to work under direction or as part of a team
or
a temperamental person; a person who takes adulation and privileged treatment as a right and reacts with petulance to criticism or inconvenience
then I think the correct term is Prima Donna.
But I don't think you mean any of those things.....

Nikephorian v Parthian. IIRC not a lot happened.
And what do you mean 'Fame at last'? I was on Noel Edmonds Late Late Breakfast Show in 1984
