Why she might be annoying:

    She tried to shave three years off her age, claiming 1967 as her birth year.
    When she headed to Paris to launch her modeling career, she told her parents she was visiting a friend in New York.
    She quickly tired of modeling, saying 'I didn't particularly like being objectified.'
    At the time of her death, her company was nearly $6 million in debt and employees and suppliers had gone unpaid.
    A fashion commentator noted, 'Whereas she got her outfits on a number of high profile people, the clothes were not a commercial hit.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was already six feet tall when she was twelve and noted, 'I had to learn to sew growing up, because nothing else fitted me.'
    She was a statuesque beauty with 42-inch legs.
    She helped design the highly successful ad campaign for Elizabeth Taylor's fragrance White Diamonds.
    Christina Hendricks said, 'L'Wren's clothes make you feel like a sexy pin-up, a sophisticated lady and a rock star all at once.'
