Why she might not be annoying:

Billie Holiday was a fan and changed her name from Elenora to Billie in her honor.
Douglas Fairbanks said, 'She was not only lovely to look at, but perfectly charming to work with.'
She reportedly lost interest in the movies after William Randolph Hearst had 'Blondie of the Follies' extensively re-edited because she outshone Marion Davies.
