I've known people for whom these are their predominant personality traits. And I think of these people as narcissists. But I'm not sure they meet the criteria for NPD.
I went through the DSM once trying to figure out where my crazy mother-in-law would fit in. She was big on histrionics. I think there was once an Axis 2 disorder called histrionic personality disorder, but I think they got rid of it or called it something else.
