The Resume

    (February 4, 1931- )
    Born in La Rioja, Argentina
    Birth name was Maria Estella Martinez
    Former nightclub dancer
    Third wife of Juan Peron
    Succeeded him as president of Argentina (1974-76)
    Overthrown by a military coup
    After five years under house arrest, went into exile in Spain

Why she might be annoying:

    In an attempt to have Eva Peron's popularity rub off on her, she had Evita's preserved body brought back to Argentina.
    She consulted with astrologers to determine national policy.
    Her chief adviser, Jose Lopez Rega, was also the head of the Triple A death squad.
    She was found guilty of diverting $1 million from a charity for her personal use (1981).
    She was arrested in Spain (January 12, 2007) pending extradition to Argentina to face charges of ordering the 'disappearance' of political enemies.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She had to share the place of honor at her husband's dinners with the preserved body of Evita.
    She was the first female head of state of a country in the Western Hemisphere.
    The military junta that replaced her was much worse than her in both corruption and the numbers of disappeared.
