when I remembered that a. Mother Theresa isn't the best example and b. in that place, people probably know that.

Opinion time! What (female) name should I use when disparagingly comparing a person to a really good, philanthropic person? Should be somebody recognizable, with no fairly well-known bad behavior. No propping up corrupt dictators, no comments about how the suffering of the poor is "beautiful", no hypocrisy, and so on.

Edit: No people who are mostly famous for having died in awful ways, or otherwise being in the wrong place at the wrong time, especially if they are still (or died when they were) minors and young adults and didn't have much of a chance to be particularly good or bad people.

I do apologize - did you not catch the mention of “Hollywood Babylon,” or the examples of other actors who, like Audrey Hepburn, depart from that image?  This would explain why that ironic contrasting example didn’t make sense to you, seemed pulled out of nowhere for no reason. It would indeed, if you don’t understand the context.  Pardon my lack of clarity.
