The Resume

    (December 16, 1972-May 20, 2017)
    Born in Rahway, New Jersey
    Portrayed Caitlin Bree in ‘Clerks’ (1993)

Why she might be annoying:

    She appeared in only one other film besides ‘Clerks’ (‘Bartender’ in 1997).
    She was married for barely a year to ‘Clerks’ co-star Jeff Anderson (1998-99).
    Her death was initially reported to be from natural causes, but was actually the result of an accidental overdose of painkillers.

Why she might not be annoying:

    ‘Clerks’ director Kevin Smith spotted her in an acting class and noted, ‘[She] was easily the most natural and authentic voice in the room.’
    When Smith approached her about being in a movie, she replied, ‘Not if it’s porn.’
    After reading the ‘Clerks’ script, she said, ‘It’s not porn, but everybody talks like it is. It’s funny. I’ll do it.’
    At the time of her death, she was battling cancer, anemia, lung disease and immune deficiency.
