Why she might be annoying:

    She was Hitler's companion at the Berlin Olympics and wrote of him, 'You immediately like him.... The eyes, showing a kind heart, stare right at you.'
    Hitler called her a 'perfect Nordic beauty.'
    The FBI investigated her as a possible spy for Nazi Germany.
    During World War II, she had an affair with John F. Kennedy, who called her 'Inga Binga.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She claimed she despised Hitler's policies and met him only twice for interviews.
    She was indirectly responsible for JFK becoming a war hero when the Navy, worried she might try to pump him for information, decided to transfer him out of Washington to the South Pacific.
    Her engagement to a British MP broke up due to the British press hounding her over her relationship with Hitler.
