Why she might be annoying:

    She divorced three times.
    She married four times.
    Her film debut, 'Saint Joan (1957),' was a box office flop and the critics were dissatisfied with her performance.
    Her daughter, Nina, died because Jean took an overdose of sleeping pills during her pregnancy.
    She is more famous for her mysterious suicide than for her film work.
    She committed suicide in the back seat of a car in Paris, France.
    Her body was recovered eleven days after her death.
    She had tried to kill herself several other times (each on the anniversary of her daughter's death).
    She said: 'My first marriage was not happy. I married him because I was impressed that he knew which wines to order and how to leave his visiting card. Ridiculous reasons.'
    She killed herself.
    A year after Jean's suicide, her husband shot himself.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She looked like Kiera Knightly.

    She is famous for the burning scene in 'Saint Joan (1957),' when the stake actually caught on fire and Otto Preminger refused to have the fire put out until the scene was finished.
    She was an actress who worked in both Europe and the US.
    Her acting ability was mostly misused in B-films.
