Why she might be annoying:

    She's 6 feet tall in flat shoes.
    She said of her 'Seinfeld' character (who Elaine referred to as 'The Braless Wonder'), 'She was never designed around sex or about being sexy. She was about freedom and living life to the fullest.'
    She was Captain Deladier in 'Starship Troopers,' then in the direct to video 'Starship Troopers 2: Hero of the Federation (2004)' she played Sgt. Dede Rake (different character AND a demotion).
    Her character in 'Housewives' blew her brains out the 1st episode, so she's the narrator.
    She provided the voice of another dead character, Julia Brown on 'Everwood.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was Miss Arizona 1980 in the 1981 Miss America contest.
    She graduated from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Music in musical theatre.
    She co-teaches yoga at UCLA's Mind/Body Institute alongside her husband Tom Henri.
    Though she was born in Oregon, studied in Arizona, and teaches yoga in California, she still finds time to serve on the board of directors of the Montana Shakespeare Company (busy woman).
