Musician

The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She originally auditioned to be the Runaways’ guitarist, but Lita Ford was chosen instead.
    Runaways producer Kim Fowley refused to let her play on the band’s debut album and hired Blondie’s Nigel Harrison to play bass instead.
    She refused to let her name be used in the biopic ‘The Runaways,’ resulting in the producers creating a fictional character to be the band’s first bassist (2010).
    She worked as a promoter for Tony Robbins’ fire-walking seminars.
    During her appearance on ‘Jeopardy!’ she asked that her rock and roll past not be brought up until she had won at least twice.
    When Alex Trebek asked how she switched from rock musician to attorney, she replied, ‘I just get bored easily, I guess.’

Why she might not be annoying:

    She claims that producer Kim Fowley raped her at a New Year’s Eve party after she was drugged with Quaaludes (1975).
    She was a National Merit Scholar in high school and earned early admission to UCLA.
    When she attended Harvard Law School, one of her classmates was Barack Obama.
    She speaks French, Spanish, Italian and Greek.
    She is a member of a pub trivia team, which she calls ‘a kind of painless way to learn new stuff.’
    She won $87,000 over four days on ‘Jeopardy!’
    She explained her decision to hold off on mentioning being a Runaway: ‘Even though I’m really, really proud of what the band accomplished, I just don’t want what I did when I was 17 to be the defining factor of my life.’
