Why he might be annoying:

    He divorced actress Ester Guernini.
    Despite a lengthy film and stage career, he's known mainly for his kinky death scene.
    His fiancee, Geraldine Saunders, found him dead in a dry bathtub.
    A noose was tied around his neck and a scarf covered his eyes.
    Leather belts, straps and handcuffs restrained him.
    Graphic words written in red lipstick were scrawled on his nude body.

    He graduated from Bowdoin College.
    He was a vocal critic of McCarthyism.
    His teen son, Jan, committed suicide in 1967.
