Actress

The Resume

    (1944- )
    Born in Detroit, Michigan
    Appeared in 'Hester Street' (1975), 'Goin South' (1978), 'A Nightmare on Elm Street' (1984), 'Critters' (1986), 'Critters 2' (1988), 'Loaded Weapon 1' (1993), 'Wes Craven's New Nightmare' (1994), 'Dumb and Dumber' (1994), 'Kingpin' (1996), 'There's Something About Mary' (1998), 'Say It Isn't So' (2001), 'Boat Trip' (2002), 'Who's Your Daddy?' (2003), 'Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd' (2003), '2001 Maniacs' (2005) and 'Snakes on a Plane' (2006)

Why she might be annoying:

    A lot of her early films were made for New Line Cinema, where her brother Robert happened to be CEO.
    She was the only cast member of 'Dumb and Dumber' to appear in the non-Farrelly Brother flop prequel.
    Cameron Diaz called the scene of Shaye French-kissing a dog in 'There's Something About Mary' one of the 'most disgusting and disturbing things I've ever seen.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her first husband suddenly died after only one year of marriage (1973).
    Diaz said the scene of Shaye and the dog was also 'One of the funniest' things she'd ever seen.
    She quipped, 'I may be the only actress in Hollywood who won't need a face lift, because when I take off my makeup, I look great compared to my characters.'
