When she made her Broadway debut, one critic said she was 'like Shirley Temple doing Boris Karloff.'
She is cynical, saying: 'You can't learn from compliments, can you?'
She has a weird sense of humor.
She once said: 'I always lived underneath the ground. And if I prayed, I prayed to either cat-gods, or the underground, like the salamanders. I love what's underneath the earth.'
She dated the horror director Tobe Hooper, a man 14 years her senior.
In '8½ Women,' she played a woman who has sex with a pig.

Why she might not be annoying:

She portrayed the pivotal role in the final episode of Showtime's 'Outer Limits.'
The great film critic Pauline Kael compared her to Katharine Hepburn.
