The Resume

    (January 20, 1926-August 8, 2010)
    Won the 1963 Best Actress Oscar (Hud)
    Acted in 'The Day the Earth Stood Still,' 'In Harm's Way,' 'The Subject was Roses' and 'Ghost Story'


Why she might be annoying:

    She had a five year affair with Gary Cooper, but he refused to marry her because he was already married to a Catholic who he refused to ask to divorce him.
    She had a nervous breakdown as a result of the affair.
    She won the Best Actress award for 'Hud,' even though it was a supporting role. Many believe it was a sympathy nod for having had a stroke (1963).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She won a Tony for 'Best Debut Performance' at the first Tony Awards (1947).
    Her daughter Olivia contracted measles encephalitis and died at seven.
    She married writer Roald Dahl, author of 'Charley and the Chocolate Factory.'
