Annie’s not black. She’s a little blonde Swiss girl who lives in the mountains. That’s Heidi, you idiot. Annie’s the little red-headed girl who looks like Sideshow Bob. But this new version of Annie doesn’t look anything like Sideshow Bob. That’s because in this remake she is being played by Oscar-nominated actor Quvenzhané Wallis.
What is Annie’s hair like?
Although in the original Broadway show and 1999 film, Annie’s hair starts out straight and auburn, in the 1982 film, her hair is curly and red the whole time like Annie’s appearance in the original comic strip, Little Orphan Annie.
She is a spunky, optimistic, energetic eleven-year old artist girl.
Little is known or revealed about Annie’s origins in the comic strips. Kenneth Barker’s article in Nemo, the Classic Comics Library #8 mentions that Annie had been in Miss Asthma ‘s orphanage since infancy. Annie describes the first thing that she remembered: “Bein’ in th’ ‘Home’ and how mean Miss Asthma was. I guess I must have been there, right from th’ time I was born, almost.” There were in fact family records for Annie and her parents, but these were lost when the orphanage was razed on November 18, 1928. Despite much persuasion from Daddy Warbucks, Asthma refused to divulge what she remembered about Annie’s biological family, apart from being left as a founding in front of the home.
Oliver offers a $50,000 reward for the couple that could prove they are Annie’s parents. Miss Hannigan and her brother and his girlfriend try to fake themselves as Annie’s parents to get the money, and almost get away with it, but are caught by Oliver Warbucks and President Roosevelt.
Annie is abandoned in a New York City orphanage where she dreams of her parents returning to reclaim her. In 1933 she escapes her abusive orphan mistress Miss Hannigan and finds a dog Sandy, but is returned to the orphanage.
Annie almost always maintains a good, positive attitude, and is the ideal girl. She has a fairly good relationship with the rest of the orphans, though she has had a few quarrels with them, most especially with Pepper. In spite of her innocence and good-natured attitude, Annie does show her tomboyish side at points, being headstrong and more than willing to stand up for herself and her friends, such as when she got into a brawl as she rescued a stray dog (whom she later christened as Sandy) from a pack of street boys who were mistreating the dog. She never is mean unless she needs to defend someone being hurt. Whenever Annie gets down, she sticks up her chin and sings the song, ” Tomorrow ,” or thinks about how her loving parents are coming to get her.
But the next morning, Mr. Warbucks was told by President Roosevelt and the FBI that her parents were actually dead, and the imposters were arrested along with Miss Hannigan as soon as they arrived. Mr. Warbucks then told Annie of her dead parents, and she was very sad.
