Why she might be annoying:

    At age 18 she married a jockey to get away from her family.
    She left her husband after three months and sold all their wedding gifts.
    Her acting is rather wooden.
    She frequently shoplifted when she first began acting.
    She and the other Dreamlanders all caught crabs one summer.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was the most glamorous of the Dreamlanders.
    She was Waters’ childhood friend.
    Later she was his frequent roommate and helped promote his films.
    She played (relatively) sane or likable characters in Waters’ bizarre movies.

    She earned an MFA in creative writing from John Hopkins University in the 1990s.
