Why she might be annoying:

    She was a popular actress in Nazi Germany.
    She tried to excuse her support for the Nazis by pointing out that she had many homosexual friends, even though gays were persecuted by the Nazis.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Her luxury villa was destroyed in an air raid.
    After World War II she was shunned in her native Sweden because of her association with Germany.
    She was merely an entertainer in Germany and was never involved with Nazi policies.
