Prostitute

The Resume

    (May 7, 1951-April 27, 2001)
    Key character in British political scandal involving Lord Jeffrey Archer (1986-1987)
    Killed when her car was hit by a robbery getaway car (April 2001)

Why she might be annoying:

    She told a tabloid newspaper, The News Of The World, that Lord Archer had offered her £70 (c.$100) for sex (1986).
    The tabloid recorded Archer offering her a large sum of money to leave the country and photographed a third party handing over a packet allegedly containing £2000 (c.$2900).
    Archer sued another tabloid, The Daily Star, over allegations that he had spent the night with Coghlan and won a record £500,000 ($725,000). The verdict was overturned in 2001 and Archer jailed for perjury.
    She smokes.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She went into prostitution after being sexually assaulted as a teenager.
    She probably told the truth but was portrayed as a liar by Archer's legal team.
    Archer was forced to quit the Conservative party of Margaret Thatcher.
    In Britain, the slang term for £2000 is 'an Archer.'
