The Resume

    (November 25, 1949- )
    Born in San Antonio, Texas
    Ex-wife of Congressman John Jenrette
    Posed for two Playboy features
    New York realtor
    Acted on 'Fantasy Island' and in the movie 'Zombie Island Massacre'
    Married Prince Nicolo von Boncompagni Ludovisi and became a legitimate Italian princess
    Evicted from the family's Rome castle (2023)

Why she might be annoying:

    She claimed that she and John Jenrette had sex on the Capitol steps. She bragged about it for years until she suddenly denied it ever happened.
    She found John's ABSCAM bribery money in a closet.
    She posed for Playboy soon after John's arrest after Hugh Hefner promised to pay her twice as much as Bo Derek got for her pictorial.
    Her acting career was a dismal failure.
    She would pose for Playboy again in 1984 in a feature about older women and younger men. It featured her with her then much-younger boyfriend.
    As a realtor, she met Prince Nicolo von Boncompagni Ludovisi while trying to sell him a building. He was still married at the time.
    She had breast implants, and plastic surgery left her unrecognizable.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Before her husband’s ABSCAM arrest, she was considered to be one of Washington DC’s top new women in politics.
    She regrets doing Playboy and movie nudity, as it kept her from gaining respect as a businesswoman.
    After marrying the prince, she insisted that his family’s Rome castle, long abandoned and dilapidated, be renovated. She took charge, guaranteeing that the castle’s artwork and antiques were salvaged.
    When she tried to sell the castle and split the money with her step-children, they refused to give her a percentage, so she refused to sell.
    When she tried offering the castle to the Italian government, the government evicted her, claiming that the castle was still in bad shape (2023).
    The Italian government and her step-children found out that a garden wall had fallen over, and claimed that was enough to claim the whole castle was unstable, and used that to evict her.
    She was considered an 'ugly duckling' as a child.
