Why she might be annoying:

    It was rumored she was having an affair with Dean Martin, which she denies to this day.
    Her nickname is 'Pet' but some called her 'Peculiar.'
    In a feature about her in TV Guide, she shaved ten years off of her age (claiming 59, December 1, 2001). Considering she appeared in two 1944 movies, and claims she signed a contract with Rank pictures when she was 11 (You do the math).
    She said that Rank taught her to act, not like Hollywood that exploits young stars.

Why she might not be annoying:

    In one year she received gold records for different songs in English, French and German (1964).
    She recorded English, French, German and Italian versions of 'Downtown.'
