    She was typecast as a sadistic thug.
    She relished being treated like a queen bee when 'The Honeymoon Killers' premiered.
    Her size limited the roles she could play.
    She was offered the role of Mama Cass Elliot (by Eliot herself) for a film about The Mamas and the Papas but turned it down.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She spoke highly of her co-stars in 'The Honeymoon Killers.'
    She felt firing Martin Scorsese as director of 'The Honeymoon Killers' was a mistake.
    She was much praised for her portrayal of a sadistic commandant in Lina Wertmuller's 'Seven Beauties.'
