Playwright

The Resume

    (circa 1958- )
    Born in United Kingdom
    Birth name was Tricia Walsh
    Married Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization which owns 17 Broadway theaters
    Appeared in the TV series 'Grange Hill' and 'The Benny Hill Show'
    Wrote the plays 'Bonkers,' 'The Thong' and 'Addictions'
    After Philip tried to evict her from their Park Avenue apartment, posted a home-made rant about him on YouTube (April 10, 2008)

Why she might be annoying:

    She says her tarot cards predict 'victory' in her divorce.
    She claims she never had sex with Philip.
    Her prenuptial agreement offers her $300,000 a year and the couple's Florida residence. (Wait: You're getting $300,000 without having to sleep with the guy making you his trophy wife, and you're complaining?)
    During the video, she calls her husband's office and asks a stunned assistant what she should do with Philip's stash of porn and Viagra.
    She ends the video by asking, 'Will poor, vulnerable Tricia be evicted, or will her mean, bad husband do the right thing? Stay tuned!'
    She apparently believes publicly trashing her husband will make him more inclined to leniency.
    Her divorce attorney called her 'powerless,' claiming she was communicating the only way she could. (Well, the only way other than using her publicist.)

Why she might not be annoying:

    She has raised money for Iraq war vets and drug treatment programs.
    Her divorce attorney said she was 'acting out of passion.'
    At least she asked her soon-to-be ex what to do with his porn; most women would just throw it out without thinking.
    Her rant attracted half a million views on YouTube in less than a week.
