Actress

The Resume

    (July 24, 1945- )
    Best known as Nova in the 'Planet of the Apes' series
    Acted in 'Airport 1975 (1974),' 'Cocoon (1985)' and 'Cocoon: The Return (1988)'

Why she might be annoying:

    She was a beauty queen.
    She only got the part of Nova because she was the producer's girlfriend.
    She sometimes used the pretentious stage name 'Augusta Summerland.'
    She had a cameo in Tim Burton's atrocious 'Planet of the Apes' remake.
    She now works as an astrologist.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is modest and unpretentious.
    Despite the fact that she has only one line in the 'Planet of the Apes' series ('Taylor!'), her performance is expressive and sympathetic.
    She auditioned for the part of Ellen Brody in 'Jaws,' but it went to the much less attractive Lorraine Gary instead.
    She says if she had gotten the part, she wouldn't have come back for 'Jaws: The Revenge.'
    She resembles Salma Hayek.
    She is close friends with feminist icon Helen Gurley Brown.
    She has a good relationship with her ex-husband.
