Why she might be annoying:

    She smokes.

    Cary Grant's fifth wife and the lead singer for the R&B group The Toys were named Barbara Harris.

Why she might not be annoying:

    As an alumni of the Compass and Second City theatre groups, she is recognized as a legend and pioneer in improv theatre.
    She quit movies in 1988 to become an acting teacher and play director, but came out of retirement to play John Cusack's mom in 'Grosse Pointe Blank.'
    She earned a 'Best Actress' Tony Award for her work in the musical 'The Apple Tree.'
    Theater critic Walter Kerr called her performances 'the square root of noisy sex.'
    She is left-handed.
