Why she might be annoying:

She started in a vaudeville rope-twirling act for which she was billed as 'Texas Binnie.'
While making comedy shorts with Stanley Lupino (Ida's father), she earned the nickname 'Pie Face' for being on the receiving end of so many custard pies.
In her Hollywood films, she was usually typecast as either the 'other woman' or as the lead's smart-aleck friend.
She said, 'Frankly, I've never been mad about acting. It just happened to be the only way I could make a living.'

Why she might not be annoying:

She was called 'a beauty carved of Grecian marble.'
