Why she might be annoying:

    She has a whiny, nasal voice.
    She is 'short and squat.'
    She loves to gossip about her former collaborators.
    She only got to work on 'Halloween' because she was John Carpenter's girlfriend.
    She produced many short films for Disney theme parks.
    In the 1990's, she produced a string of crappy made-for-TV movies, which essentially finished her career.
    She was the driving force behind the awful, 15-years-too-late sequel 'Escape from L.A.'
    She produced 'Halloween III: Season of the Witch,' considered by some to be one of the worst horror films of all time.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She's worked with many big-name directors, including Carpenter, David Cronenberg, Gary Marshall, Terry Gilliam, Christopher Guest, Robert Rodriguez, William Friedkin and Ralph Bakshi.
    She was one of the most successful female producers of the 1980's.
    For many years, 'Halloween' was the biggest grossing independent film ever made.
    Her hands were used for those of the young Michael Myers in the movie's opening murder scene.
    Her gossipy nature makes her DVD commentary tracks very entertaining.
