I want to see a picture of Annabelle Gurwitch

Why: In the mental_floss list of "8 Successful People Grateful They Got Canned":
Annabelle Gurwitch, who hosted Dinner and a Movie on TBS from 1996 to 2002, had at least one show business firing that would have made most people look for a new career. In 2003 she was acting in a play under the direction of her idol Woody Allen when the director suddenly decided he didn’t like what he was seeing from Gurwitch. He really, seriously didn’t like it. As Allen fired Gurwitch, he launched into a tirade, saying, “What you’re doing is terrible, none of it good, all of it bad, don’t ever do that again.” As if he hadn’t said enough, Allen then added, “You look retarded.”
Answer: Here she is. Retarded? You be the judge:
(Yes, she's Jewish.)
