Why she might be annoying:

    That wide wide mouth and platinum mane.
    The Woman Around Town site described her upbringing – alongside an older sister – as being ruled over ‘by the Hollywood version of the Tiger Mom.’
    If Mom was incredibly aggressive, Dad was incredibly passive.
    Prior to a book event in Los Angeles, she was violently confronted by her mother, cementing their estrangement.
    She was the captain of the Harvard polo team.
    She loosely inspired Avery Jessup, the 30 Rock character played by Elizabeth Banks (whose conception was attributed to each of them).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was less than a year old when she appeared in a baby shampoo commercial.
    From her preschool to high school years, she had a sizable resume of guest appearances — including a young Mindy McConnell.
    Perhaps not surprisingly, she considered Michael Landon to be a better parent figure than her own parents.
    She was an executive editor of The Harvard College Economist Magazine.
    Her future husband – with whom she would have three children – proposed to her on top of the Empire State Building!
    Prior to CNBC, she was at the CNET broadcast unit for such categories as consumer products.
    Despite a satisfactory experience, she did not include her childhood resume in any of her official site biographies.
