The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She is famous only because of her father, husband and daughter.
    She broke up with J.D. Salinger when she met Charlie Chaplin.
    She and Chaplin married when she was 18 and he was 54.
    After her marriage, her life revolved around Chaplin.
    She gave up her American citizenship.
    She became an alcoholic recluse after Chaplin's death.
    She smoked.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Eugene O'Neill abandoned his family when she was 2 and she rarely saw him.
    Despite this, he felt he had the right to disinherit her after she married Chaplin.
    She was named ‘Debutante of the Year' in 1942.
    Salinger sent her an obscene letter when he learned of her marriage.
    She saved Chaplin's assets after he was barred from re-entering the US in 1952.
    Her marriage to Chaplin proved long and happy.
