Actress

The Resume

    (January 19, 1923-May 31, 2013)
    Best known for playing Edith Bunker on 'All In The Family'

Why she might be annoying:

    She had a high-pitched shrill voice.
    She did almost nothing of note after 'All In The Family' ended, outside of 'You've Got Mail'.
    She turned down Angela Lansbury's role in 'Murder, She Wrote' and as Mike Tevee's mother in 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.'
    She looks like Eleanor Roosevelt.

Why she might not be annoying:

    In an episode of 'The Defenders,' about 10 years before she hit fame, she played a woman who witnessed a murder and pointed out the murderer, who was played by Carroll O' Connor.
    She won 3 Emmys for her role as Edith Bunker.
    She didn't mind being stereotyped as Edith.
    She took advantage of her Eleanor Roosevelt similarities and acted in a TV Movie and one-woman show as her.
