The Resume

    (September 18, 1905-April 15, 1990)
    Starred in 'Anna Karenina,' 'Anna Christie,' 'Romance,' 'Ninotchka,' 'Camille,' 'Flesh and Devil' and 'Divine Woman'
    Appears on a foreign postage stamp

Why she might be annoying:

    She changed her name from Gustafsson to Garbo, since Hollywood execs thought it sounded like 'garbage.'
    She lived the last few years of her life in seclusion in New York City, avoiding as many people as possible.
    She was very strict with her schedule (although she would always be ready on time).
    However, if a scene needed just a few minutes more to finish, she would walk off the set if it was quitting time.
    She was Adolf Hitler's favorite actress.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She was left-handed.
    She said 'Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.'
    She ranked #38, in Empire Magazine's Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time.
    She refused to pay blackmail to her former lesbian lover, Mercedes De Costa, who threatened to make her love letters public (De Costa never released them).
    She ranked #51 in Playboy's Sex Stars of the Century.
