Why she might be annoying:

    She said one of the things she inherited from her mother was ‘a lot of neurosis.’
    In her early days in experimental theater, she considered television actors ‘sell outs.’
    She said after being recognized in the street by fans of ‘Special,’ ‘I didn’t realize the scope of Netflix. I’m a moron.’

Why she might not be annoying:

    When she first arrived in Los Angeles, she got a job as nanny to George Wendt’s three children.
    She won an Obie (the off-Broadway equivalent of a Tony) for her performance in ‘Admissions’ at Lincoln Center (2018).
    Jane Sibbett (who played Susan’s wife Carol on ‘Friends’) said, ‘She’s really just the dreamiest person anyone could ever hope to be married to. She’s just lovely. It made it so easy to be in love with her.’
