The Resume

    (November 4, 1944-January 2, 1972)
    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Daughter of Conservative Member of Parliament Leonard Plugge
    Murdered in Trinidad and Tobago
    Portrayed in the film 'The Bank Job' (2008)

Why she might be annoying:

    She married photographer Jonathan Benson at 20, but ran away to Argentina 2 years later.
    At a cocktail party thrown by Vanessa Redgrave, she met American-born black activist Hakim Jamal, a man with a fetish for upper crust white women.
    She took on the alias 'Hale Kimga,' an anagram of her and Hakim's first names.
    She wore African-inspired garments 30 years before that annoying Gwyneth Paltrow.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Black Liberation leader Michael X ordered her killing citing the 'mental strain' she caused Hakim.
    Just after New Years, Michael X lured her to a four foot deep hole, asked 'What do you think this is for?'
    When she shrugged, several men shoved her into the hole, hacked her in the chest and throat with a sword as she fought back, and buried her alive.
    'The Bank Job's portrayal of her as a spy under 'deep cover' was dismissed by her brother Frank, who insisted his sister was a woman who'd simply fallen in love with a 'fake among fakes.'
