Why she might be annoying:

    She was Adolf Hitler's favorite actress.
    She sucked up to Hitler and Joseph Goebbels.
    Her one American film was not successful because of her heavy German accent.
    The man she really worked for wasn’t a whole lot better than Hitler.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Although she cozied up with Hitler, evidence shows she may have been connected to a plot to help assassinate him.
    Her relationship with Hitler was not a genuine one.
    After the war, she launched a cosmetics company and had minor acting roles.
    Although a popular star in Nazi Germany, her ex-husband’s mother was Jewish.
    She was the lead in one of the earliest films by Alfred Hitchcock.
