Actress

The Resume

Why she might be annoying:

    She is overshadowed by John.
    While John was playing a high schooler in 'Welcome Back, Kotter,' she was playing the mother of one of his classmates.
    She portrayed Scott Baio's mom in two different series.
    In the late 70s, it was a close call whether she or John was a better dead ringer for Lily Tomlin.
    She said, 'I'm very bossy and nosy and controlling.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    At least she is not overshadowed by Joey Travolta.
    She gave up a successful stage career for over a decade to raise two kids.
    Alexander Polinsky, the youngest cast member of 'Charles in Charge,' said 'She was very helpful to me when I was going through puberty and I wasn't a happy camper.'
    She does not resent her brother's success, saying 'Being John's sister is a wonderful handle.'
