    Married actor David Hemmings (1968-75) and journalist Sir Simon Jenkins (1978-2011)
    Known as Lady Jenkins during her second marriage

Why she might be annoying:

    She and Hemmings initially got married in a secret ceremony that turned out to not be legitimate, forcing them to re-do it a year later.
    She was twice caught trying to evade British quarantine regulations by smuggling her terriers through Heathrow Airport.
    She named her terriers Cathy and Heathcliffe, after the main characters in 'Wuthering Heights.'
    She was featured in the HGTV reality show 'Selling London' when she sold her Primrose Hill Victorian mansion (2012).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She won a scholarship to UCLA to study English literature.
    She said about her marriage to Hemmings, 'I was a bride of three months and he was having a very public affair with Samantha Eggar. It nearly destroyed me.'
    She said, 'It's one of the cardinal rules of my life that I would never flirt, let alone sleep with, a married man. It is a total betrayal of other women.'
