Why she might be annoying:

    Called back several times while auditioning for the role of Anita in "West Side Story,' the job (and Oscar) went to Rita Moreno.
    Sparklers attached to her head (per a director's request) while portraying The Statue of Liberty set her hair on fire.
    TV series she frequently guest starred in, such as 'Death Valley Days,' 'Perry Mason,' '77 Sunset Strip' and Sea Hunt,' had her as a different character every time.
    She tried to return to acting in the early 70s but her new agent found no work for her and she faded into oblivion.
    Because she's allergic to cats she collects cat figurines.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She once did her own stunt swaying on a trapeze being dangled under a helicopter without a safety harness or safety net.
    In honor of National Flower Week the Society of American Florists named her 'Carnation Queen' in 1954.
    Between 1955-70 she guest appeared in over 100 TV series episodes.
    Her post acting hobbies include poetry, painting, piano, sculpting, linguistics, swimming and archery.
    Her husband of 20 years (he died of a heart attack in 1977) quoted 'Lisa is first and foremost a woman. She is no walking, talking, greasepaint doll. You cannot expect more alluring femininity than she has.'
