Why she might be annoying:

    She married and divorced Dragnet TV star Jack Webb (1947-53).
    Naturally shy, she became reclusive during the marriage and after the divorce.
    Her acting usually came across as stiff and dry, reinforcing the 'blond bombshell' stereotype.
    After her stint on 'Emergency!' she gave up acting and singing and went into seclusion.
