Why she might be annoying:

    Her weight gain during 'The Facts of Life's' run is legendary, despite being cast as the pretty, rich one.
    She made a Grammy-nominated gospel album in 1984.
    She home schools her 3 children.
    She coined the phrase: 'I just had another one of my brilliant ideas!'
    She stopped dying her hair toward the end of the show's run, and showed us her lovely dark roots.
    She sells autographed pictures on her site for $5.
    The final 2 episodes of Facts of Life were basically a failed spin-off attempt in which Blair runs her former school.
    She married someone fifteen years older than her.
    She refused to allow her 'Facts of Life' character lose her virginity because it was against her personal beliefs.
    She advocates punishing children by putting hot sauce on their tongue.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is a Christian, but not born-again.
    Despite acting sparingly in the 90s and being busy with her children, she came back in 2001 to act in the Facts Of Life reunion movie.
    Her website is quite comprehensive and sleek-looking.
    In the early 80s, she moved into an apartment with her disabled co-star, Geri Jewell.
    She likes Speed Racer.
    She has aged quite gracefully.
