The Resume

    (November 20, 1919-July 4, 2008)
    Acted in ‘Gone With the Wind (1939),' ‘Before I Hang (1940),' ‘Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941),' ‘The Desperadoes (1943),' ‘A Thousand and One Nights (1945),' ‘The Jolson Story (1946),' ‘Enchantment (1948),' ‘The Prowler (1951),' ‘The Seven Year Itch (1955),' ‘Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)' and ‘A Return to ‘Salem's Lot (1987)'
    Wrote memoirs ‘Scarlet O'Hara's Younger Sister (1977)' and ‘I'll Think About That Tomorrow (1991)'
    Married to John Huston and Artie Shaw

Why she might be annoying:

    She was married four times.
    One of her husbands killed himself when their relationship ended.
    Her memoirs are more about her marriages and affairs than her work as an actress.
    She came to dislike Vivian Leigh.
    Her best known role is whiny Suellen O'Hara in ‘Gone With the Wind (1939).'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She and John Huston adopted an orphan Huston met while filming in Mexico.
    Seldom a lead, she had many strong supporting roles alongside actors such as Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff.
    She began a second successful career as a writer in the 1970's.
    She won a lawsuit against Artie Shaw's executor who ignored Shaw's wish that she receive half his estate (July 25, 2006).
