Why she might be annoying:

    Though she had a successful, 80-year career on stage and screen, she is most famous for her five-minute stint as an elderly stowaway in ‘Airport.’
    She liked to spout off all sorts of witty quotes about being old, like 'Age is not important unless you're a cheese.'
    She gave a speech touting George Bush at the 1988 Republican convention.
    Rosie O'Donnell bought the mansion she once lived in.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was one of the few Broadway stars who wasn’t an alcoholic or pilled to the guts.
    She was the first person ever to win a Grammy, an Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy in competitive categories.
    She was politically and socially active.
    She is often called the 'First Lady of the American Theater.'
    The death of her daughter to polio led her to become a crusader against the disease.
