Why she might be annoying
She was a smoker.
She was a Communist.
Two of her sisters were Nazi sympathizers.
She formed a pop group, Decca and the Dectones, and recorded a cover version of the Beatles' 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer.'
She defended the Soviet invasion of Hungary (1956) as necessary 'to preserve a socialist system against what looks like a fascist coup.'
When 'Time' magazine wrote that Mitford showed 'a depraved interest in what is morally unsavory or scandalous,' she said, 'I fear that does rather describe me.'
