Why she might be annoying:

    She’s inherited the signature large Greek snout.
    On her reluctance to become an actress: ‘It’s just that actors are all lumped together as this vague mass of fame-hungry, swag-wearing, drug-using, eating-disordered people, and I sometimes get sick of being lumped with that group.’
    Never mind, her parents weren’t initially receptive to the idea of her going into acting, either.
    While at Yale, she struggled with a bout of anorexia that left her at least 20 pounds thinner than she’d already been.
    On social media, she is a staunch Trump opponent. (Too bad the people that you think ought to be listening don’t care what you think.)

Why she might not be annoying:

    You may have heard of her grandfather, but she doesn’t consider him – or her own parents – her core inspiration.
    She is a close friend of Lena Dunham.
    Probably helped by not being a powerhouse name, she rarely runs into problems with the paparazzi.
    Though not interested in acting work that would involve such interventions, she is open to the idea of Botox.
    She credited her then-boyfriend with the improvement of her eating habits.
    ‘…I have the superpower of not caring about my body as an actor.’
