The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She shares a name with the 'Same Love' singer.
    She cast Rooney Mara in her first speaking role.
    Her 'Like a Prayer' video - which featured burning crosses and love making inside a church - was deemed controversial enough for Pepsi to pull Madonna's 'Make a Wish' commercial and to elicit a statement from the Vatican.
    She directed the gauzy documentary '14 Women' on the then-14 female members of the US Senate (full disclosure: her sister Blanche Lincoln was one of the featured Senators).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She directed Chris Isaak's first music video.
    She directed Janet Jackson's 'Nasty' and 'Control' music videos.
    She directed some of Madonna's best music videos (including 'Material Girl,' 'La Isla Bonita,' and 'Like a Virgin').
    Her debut feature 'Siesta' was nominated for the IFP Spirit Award for Best First Feature.
    She made inroads in the horror movie genre as a female director in the male-dominated field.
    She was the first female director of a SyFy Channel original movie.
