Why she might be annoying:

Her full name is Alicia Ernestina de la Caridad del Cobre Martínez Hoya.
She grew up well-to-do.
At just 16, she married another dancer, Fernando Alonso.
Her affiliation with Castro led to her accomplishments being almost forgotten in the States.

Why she might not be annoying:

Her performances in 'Giselle' and 'Carmen' are legendary.
Diagnosed with a detached retina at 21, three surgeries left her partially blind, with no peripheral vision.
She compensated for her visual impairment by using specially-colored stage lights as a marker and training dance partners to stand where she needed them on stage.
She performed into her 70s, still conveying her signature power and sensuality.
