    She portrayed a lot of doctors.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She admitted that she only watched herself in 'Showgirls', once, as she said the whole entire movie, including her rape scene, was too dark and still haunted her.
    She is biracial, as she is of Puerto Rican, Spanish and African-American descent.

    She played Denzel Washington's wife in 'The Great Debaters' film (2007).
