Why she might not be annoying:

Even though she did not participate in the 'Facts of Life' reunion, she did offer to direct a movie which had the other girls reunite after her former character's death.
She also chose not to participate because she did not want to be typecast as her 'Facts of Life' character.
She has a cult following, and is widely regarded as the most popular of the 'Facts of Life' girls.
She got her big break by being spotted in a Hallmark commercial by Brandon Tartikoff.
