Why she might be annoying:

Her Hollywood film career flopped despite a publicity blitz by studio head David O. Selznick.
She became a drunk when film roles dried up.
She was divorced.
One day after her 51st birthday, Gwili surrounded herself with various pictures and press clippings of her once-promising career. She set them on fire, allowing the flames to consume her.

Why she might not be annoying:

She was billed as 'America's Most Beautiful Model.'
Possessing striking beauty and European exoticism, she hoped to follow in Marlene Dietrich's footsteps as a Hollywood femme fatale.
Her life and death are viewed as cautionary tales of a fading star's inability to cope with unfulfilled dreams.
