Why she might be annoying:

    She tried to parlay her sitcom success into a singing career, releasing a flop single, ‘Who You Foolin’?’
    She left ‘Soap’ to star in ‘I’m a Big Girl Now,’ which was cancelled after one season.
    She was a Scientologist.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She called Soap’s Katherine Helmond both her acting mentor and her best friend.
    She won a People’s Choice Award as Favorite Female Performer in a New TV Program for ‘I’m a Big Girl Now.’
    She became the director of a children’s theater in Redding, Connecticut.
    She eventually quit Scientology and criticized its increasingly expensive auditing sessions: ‘They're telling you, 'Don't spend $100 an hour on a shrink's couch, it'll ruin your mind.' Auditing is so much better?’
