Why she might be annoying:

    Yes, you read that correctly: she was born the day before Pearl Harbor.
    And yes, ‘Wende’ is the correct spelling for her real name.
    Initially having little interest in a career, she was a free spirit in her youth.
    With no credits of any kind, there is confusion as to whether she was a nautical stunt double on ‘Sea Hunt’ (for Lloyd Bridges, even!).
    While living in Malibu, a fire destroyed her house and personal effects.

Why she might not be annoying:

    With her father’s frequent naval postings, she had lived in almost every U.S. State.
    Helped in no small way by her parents, education would come before screen testing.
    She was a friend and roomie of Sharon Tate.
    Perhaps not surprisingly, the waters would play a huge part in her professional life.
    Though divorced twice – and waiting about five years to remarry – she had one child by each marriage (the second to Robert Mitchum’s son).
