The Resume

    (May 6, 1946- )
    Born in Poughkeepsie, New York
    Birth name was Carolyn Elizabeth Adams
    Was one of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters
    Married Jerry Garcia (1981-94)
    Wrote 'Primo Plant: Growing Sinsemilla Marijuana' (1976)

Why she might be annoying:

    She was known as Mountain Girl.
    She and Kesey had a daughter out of wedlock (1964).
    Setting a precedent for future hippies, they named her Sunshine.
    She and Garcia had two daughters before they got married.
    She launched a legal battle to claim a share of Garcia's estate even though she admitted, 'Jerry would have hated dragging the family history through a courtroom.'
    Her attempt to demonstrate Jerry's undying love by reading his love letters in court was undermined when it was demonstrated that the letters had been written in the 60s instead of the 80s as she had claimed.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Tom Wolfe called her 'one big loud charge of vitality' with 'a smile that lit up one's gizzard.'
    Jerry said, 'Talking to you is a direct line to happiness.'
    Her and Jerry's daughter Annabelle said of the battle over the estate, 'The problem is that mom and dad had a real hippie relationship, and you cannot explain a 60s relationship in legal terms.'
    Jerry's widow, Deborah Koons, spitefully banned her from Jerry's memorial service and from the spreading of his ashes.
