The Resume

    (May 22, 1938-January 21, 1999)
    Acted in 'Picnic (1955),' 'Kapò (1959),' 'Taste of Fear (1961)' and 'Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days (2001)'
    Performed as Anne Frank in 'The Diary of Anne Frank'
    Wrote 'Bittersweet' and 'Marilyn and Me: sisters, rivals, friends'
    Nominated for a BAFTA Film Award (1957)
    Daughter of Lee and Paula Strasberg

Why she might be annoying:

    She had an affair with actor Richard Burton while appearing in the Broadway play 'Time Remembered.'
    Her mother encouraged the affair in hopes that it will help her career.
    She and actor Christopher Jones divorced after three years of marriage (1965-1968).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She won a Best Actress award at the Mar del Plata Film Festival for her lead role in 'Kapò' (1961).
    She died of breast cancer at age 60 while still youthful.
    She named her daughter after Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Jones.
    When Marilyn Monroe moved into the Strasberg household, she had to share rooms with her.
    She appeared in three documentaries about her sisterly friend and household rival Marilyn Monroe.
    She said, 'There's no such thing as The Method. The term method-acting is so much nonsense. There are many methods, many techniques. My father merely used a method of teaching based on the ideas originally propounded by Stanislavsky - self-discipline, how to think out a role and use imagination. That's all.'
